Title: bucket of the year
Post by: barry mallett on April 18, 2012, 11:56:03 am: come on you tradders i want your nominations for the bucket of the year. willit be the round bucket , cos you can put it on your head when its raining . or maybe the rectangle bucket , cos you can get more of the custys garden ornaments in . or will it be the good old bucket that used to have paint or tile adhesive in .come on get your votes in , and your reasons why .(all buckets must have been bought in the uk , diy buckets will be counted in the votes )
