You can get bibtaps with removable handles for exactly this situation.

Like this:

Isn't it all overkill though? A simple removeable handle is surely enough - if they really want to cause trouble they will anyway. They could presumably just unscrew the tap from the back plate?

That's traditionally American. British English is "wild flower". Hence the OED does not recognise "wildflower", and Collins gives the concatenation only as an "also".

And we are exhorted to think about the dangers of invasive species!

The problem is one of force to turn it on and off and the weak metal most keys are made from. Far better to construct a protection device around a normal tap I think. Brian

I broke an ankle doing that , they were stacked four high in four columns with a piece of plywood on top. They were still stable till a twerp came down the corridor with an empty pallet on a pallet truck and was too thick too notice that you can?t get a 48? wide pallet through a

40? inch gap and took out one corner of the pile.
