    Seems very expensive to me, especially when you can get the blue barrels for nothing mostly, or next to nothing if the do charge for them. You can even buy a 1000ltr second hand IBC container for less than the price of those butts, around £30.

    Suggest you look around a little and save money to save water!

      So Gary ... you are the managing director of Polytank Group Limited, who run the waterandoil.co.uk website, and you are spamming gardening sites freeloading advertisements for your company?

      Or did I get some of that wrong?

      The waterandoil.co.uk website has no Bricks and Mortar address that I could find on any page, and doesn't mention the company name either (although the Paypal checkout has that of course ...)

          blimey, are these water butts lined with gold and platinum? they should be at that price!

          and no adress, even on the contact page, very odd.

          the home page says its raining money, only for the sellers at these prices!!

              Not very ethical,you could of asked first or/and offered to pay a small sum towards running costs.
              If you tried that on some sites I visit your post bag would be full.

                Just before I spam ban Mr Fiddler, i'd just like to point out I sold 2 water butts today for £5 each:snork:

                Thank you good people for your good work in giving the spammer some grief while we were out of the office:dbgrtmb:

                I'll leave this up for a while incase Mr Fiddler comes back with a financial offer, but most spammers post a few times then are never seen again.

                    I would have thought someone so closely connected to the water harvesting industry would have a few butts constantly on the go.

                    Give these guys a go for some advice if you need any pointers :loll: http://www.waterbuttsdirect.co.uk/

                        Let them know friendly or not Zigs, either way you look at it Gary was prepared to lie to ad his product, probably lieing about the product too, probably just a bunch of rubbish!

                        Ironic that his surname is "Fidler" dont you think!
