The message
from Broadback contains these words:

Anyone know any reliable, (will deliver!) and genuine, subsidised offers
for Water Buts and accessories. My local area (Cheshire) does not seem
to encourage the ''Green Theme''.


I live next door, Staffordshire, it was the water people who put me in
touch with Blackwall, they are on the web
http://www.blackwall-ltd.com/waterefficent.htm, try there first. They
will tell you if your water company are offering a subsidised deal.

It cost me £29.95 for 200 litre butt,lid, stand and drain pipe (square)
connector. A little slow on delivery but the product is fine.

Go to your local friendly fire station and they may sell cheaply, or
even give you a heavy-duty plastic barrel which once held foam.

I have one of these, and I cut off the top just below the rim using a
panel saw, and when that's done, you just turn the top over and the
channel round the top (used for locking then when stacked) fits the
sides perfectl, making a lid.

For the downpipe, I cut a circular hole in the lid with a keyhole saw.
(Most DIY/hardware shops will have one, if you don't)
