The message
from (Mark Fawcett) contains these words:

Last Sunday I happened to catch a program on C4 called Scrapheap
Challenge in which 2 teams had to construct a fire engine. During this
they 'found' in the scrapyard a number of big (4 or 5 foot cubes?)
plastic tanks which set me thinking, hmmm THEY would be useful for
collecting rainwater. The rainbarrels normally sold for such purposes
always overflow when we get too much rain and run out too quickly when
we dont get enough.
Do any urglers know if such items can be found anywhere? Free would be
best but Id be happy to buy if the price was reasonable and ideally
close enough to NE Wales for me to pick up.

Try your local farming newspaper, they often have second hand tanks
advertised. Failing that, Exchange and Mart mag.
