Default water butts

I would like to buy some water butts. Where is the best (cheapest?)
place to get them? Is the water company the cheapest? They seem to
sell them for about £35. I think in B&Q and such places it is £24 for
the butt, £10 for the stand, and the diverter is on top of that, so I
guess the water company is £10 cheaper but obviously there is a big
wait.


Our local farm shop sells recycled industrial plastic barrels for about
£20. They have a rubber lid like a dustbin lid, and are perfectly
good for the job. Mine is bright blue.
