Last summer I bought 2 stainless steel watering cans from Tesco.
At the start of the season this year, they were showing signs of
rust and leaking.
Tesco have refused to refund the cost as I do not have the recipt
I am reluctant to take the company to the small claims court
because of the cost,
but all gardeners should be aware of Tesco's attitude
I will probably cut up my Tesco club card and send it to Leahy

Are you sure that they are "stainless steel" and not galvanised
because as far as i was aware s/s does not rust

Stainless Steel can rust, it depends on the grade and make up of
the Steel

Ballocks! Where did you dig up that load of shite? "SS can rust." Go
back to school, ****.

Actually Mike is correct, it can rust, it just does so much less and
more slowly and a lot depends on which grade of steel is used.
Dead right. Having sailed yachts for 20+ years, S/S fittings and rails do
rust in time.

Can you get a sacrificial anode for a watering can? ;-)

If the whole can is made of the same metal and you are not going to immerse
it in salt water, sacrificial anodes will not be required as Electrolytic
action will not take place.
