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.

If you do a proper analysis of the costs it would take years to recoup
the cost of even a barrel when you work out how much per gallon you pay
for tap water.

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.

The ones shown on Scrapheap Challenge look like the ones sold by the
Tank Exchange at Barnsley. They will deliver if you want.
