Bought a double barrel footpump, like the one below.
Today I had to use it so after stamping away like an effing maniac and not seeing any change nor pressure registered on the gauge, investigation
revealed the hose has perished - I can pick pieces off it using fingers. 
So
a) I am looking for a reliable foot pump - recommendations (not electric)
and
b) car valve adapter than can be fitted to a hose as it may be possible to fix it.
Hopw about one of these...

I got a double pump one from Halfords works ok
You can get a new 'oze from the fork 'andle shop.

I gave up on foot pumps years ago and started using a bicycle 'track pump'. Might not be suitable due to shape/size though...

Had the same perished hose issue with a cheap foot pump from Halfords. Threw it in the bin and bought a bicycle track pump from eBay. Worked well for bicycles, cars and footballs for 5 years now.
Get one of the hoses listed above and if the pump doesn't work well afterwards then get a used Dunlop Major (several on eBay) and use the newly purchased hose on that. I gave up on the cheap pumps and have a Major in each garage and they're great.
A FOOT PUMP ??
how 1970's, infact ive not even seen one since then. I know my Dad had one, and its probably still in his garage, buts hes not driven in 20
years, thankfully!
I ll put it on ebay for you, maybe worth £100 as its so fing old

I know you said not electric, but I picked on of these up for £1 in Aldi yesterday. Figured if it worked bargain, if not throw it away.
It works off the car cigarette lighter socket and pumps car and bike tyres + footballs.
(Schrader valves + a pin adapter for footballs)

temporarily fixed it with 4 mm PVC air line; expected the it to blow off but managed to pump up the tyre.
I do have a track pump but that is 105 miles away from me.
