Check out your local caravan shop. They usually sell them for £5/£6

Got mine from a chap in Ashford, Kent £1 each, said he could get more.  I'll dig out his contact details if Ashford's near to you.

I bought 10 of these a while ago

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/10x-New-25L-25-Litre-Plastic-Water-Containers-Food-Grade-Drum-Gerry-Jerrican-/320999849082?pt=UK_Home_Garden_GardenEquipment_HandTools_SM&hash=item4abd14fc7a

With delivery works out around £4.80 per barrel..

***note if they are for a trolley system say 50ltr pure freedom.. 2 dont fit on as they are fatter than the pure freedom barrels****

Great barrels though

find your local printers, they seem to go through loads. I found one and after I took 15 the only thing they said was " is that all you want ". And they cost me nothing
