It's effectively the northernmost 'town' in the UK, right up at the
north of the northmost of the main Shetland islands. The edge of
beyond ....

If you look at a map, which I couldn't resist doing, there appear to be
at least four other "places" further north, the northernmost being
"Norwick". Sorry for being a pedantic git.

These are available free, they just need washing for any camper or

use
to our son's client.

They each hold ten gallons, have a screw top, a wine box type tap,
insulated side walls, two carry handles and a retching orange white
and
logo colour scheme.

What did they have in them before?

Soft drinks, I think. They'd easily wash. They're coming tonight, would
you
like some? I don't mind delivering to you (not tonight though!).

Yes - it's a US soft drink - I've come across it referenced as a high
energy drink for 'sportsmen'.

That's the one, son has just left. His company has been promoting the
'orange' and 'lemon' versions iin Britain and the company won't use the
containers again for fear of litigation - although they're recommended for
re-use by customers! Son is not pleased, throwing them away after being used
only as a display (even though they are recyclable) isn't his company policy
and it wasn't in the contract but the customer is unmovable.

It looks like the Company policy is a bit more lax with regard to what it
promotes.
Perhaps Gatorade might be of some use to professional sportsmen but
promoting it to pump down the throats of spotty adolescents ain't good news.
It's a sugar laden, concoction of mush.

There are plenty other liquids which answer that description. I haven't
drunk anything like that since I was 17. And it's not only adolescents who
eat and drink non-foods.

I'm not promoting the stuff, I don't eat or drink any junk.

Which is why I said 'town'. Unst has a population of about 600, and
Norwick is not one of the main three settlements - it doesn't even
have a church.

I am a pedant by profession :-)

Picture on request.

Takers will have to pay carriage or collect.

Have you tried freecycle? With the right description and possibly photos on
the freecycle group site I am sure people will be interested.

How many have you got left? I've got 5 takers here. Could pop over at
the week end.

Yep. I'm in Manchester and I need to do a rekkie around the North west
to find a picnic area for our 20th wedding anniversary. So this falls
perfectly well with our plans )

You can have five - or more.
Mail me.

Doing this right now.

Having looked at the photos - they look just perfect for use as a
wormery.

A support perforated "floor" of some type just above the tap line and
away you go.
