The local news buletin on BBC Radio Scotland brought rejoicing to one half of the Zed househould this morning. A problem with the water supply in and around Inverness had forced the council to close schools for the days. Funny how children just jump out of bed in such situations.

A spokewoman for Scottish Water appeared on air to apologise and explain that "bowsers would be available on many streets"

When I came into the office I asked our news Editor Craig Swann the question that had been haunting me all morning.

"What's a bowser?"

Craig didn't actually give me a straight answer.

"You'll know one when you see it." he told me.

Hmmm.
