Funny story.
But you may not find it funny.I am staying at my sons,I decided to buy some compost ,bedding plants for his hanging baskets as the pansies have died.
Anyway,it takes about 5 mins to walk to Moles,it's like a garden centre.
They keep the compost ,plants outside.
I managed to get the compost into my rucksack,carried the remaining plants in my hands .
I got half way home,when I felt a trickling down the back of my leg..then I felt a stream of something running down my legs.
I was so worried,I thought I had become incontinent,without knowing..or I could even be bleeding.
It's just strange how my brain didn't pick up that it was the soaking wet compost that was in the back of my rucksack.
I knew the compost was damp on picking up..but it was obviously wet in the middle.

A similar but not so amusing tale.
My father was in WWII. He got shrapnel in his back but didn't realise it at the lime. Later in the day, after marching some distance, he felt something trickling down the back of his leg.
Yep, it was blood from the hit he took.

Re: Funny story.
IT wasn't multi purpose compost,that was to heavy for me to carry.So I got a bulb compost,small bag,with a tight squeeze,holding everyone up in the que.
I managed to get it into the rucksack,.....I just couldn't understand why something was streaming down my legs...I was worried that people were thinking I was wetting myself...to be honest,I actually thought,I had lost control of my bladder,or even worse,bleeding,that's how worried I was.

Re: Funny story.
There were loads of tiny holes in the bag.Tiff..I guess the compost needs to breath.....but remember all that rain we had..it was on the top of the pile...so the rain must have soaked through...they leave everything outside like that.I bet you all think I'm crazy,
I dread to think what I must have looked like from behind...
Not sure about a dram,Rox...more like a drain.
