Annemoon:
Anyone able to help a fellow reader across the pond out?
What on earth does "You're a big bucket of water, ain'cha?" mean? ^^'
Just, your a big person? Is it more a 'melons' reference?

BenRG:
Mrs Whitaker is telling Bubbles that she's tall, big and attractive (refreshing like a glass of water). Bi Mrs W confirmed? Might my idle speculation of her coming to Northampton and then running away with Mrs Augustus actually plausible now? :-o

Zebediah:
It’s just a way of noting that Bubbles is very big. Nothing more.

Its probably a play on the older phrase of calling someone a tall drink of water, however, bubbles being not only tall but well built is a bucket not just a glass of water.

I've only heard it used in the US and kinda more of an old fashioned thing if I understand correctly. Although it does play into the more modern phrase of some being "thirsty" for an attractive person.

I'm pretty sure it's possible for someone of the same gender as another to comment on other said person's attractiveness, without being Bisexual.
