I'm glad that you wrote about the hosepipe and not me!Quote Parksy .. "Maybe the fire crew turned on their floodlights in an effort to distinguish between Arthur and Martha? They could also have been looking for a lost dog".
It wasn't just the floodlights they got into trouble for. It was because they turned their hose on Arthur and Martha to try and 'extinguish' them. I suppose that's where the pastime gets its canine name from :O)

It crossed my mind that a bucket of water might have been appropriate at the time but I hesitated to write it.
