I too carry water, but have never refused a kind offer of a drink. The owner of a now defunct off-licence always offered me a drink on hot days - but always refused to let me take an 8-pack of lager :chuckle

I had one come out on Friday as I was halfway round my walk and offered me TWO drinks!! a cold can of 7up or a cold can of Fosters.

I had to take the 7up :arrrghhh as I was driving.

But I also take a 2 litre bottle 3/4 frozen with ice and another 2 litre bottle filled with water and just keep transferring water from one bottle to another.

oh and walked under a couple of lawn sprayers as well yesterday :) pure heaven :Applause
