I did wonder if it was worth chucking nettles into one of my water butts -
any views on that or am I just asking for trouble with a blocked tap?

If you do that, put them in an old sack or pillowcase (that should help
you sleep!). Otherwise you end up with a revolting sludge you have to
fish out of the water butt to chuck on the compost.
