I wonder if the pump is a high flow rate for filling vans?

Post by: Oakley Windows on June 22, 2009, 08:47:57 am: Im sure theyre great for storing water but B+Q made an error of judgement with the British PUblic stocking these things. No-one REALLY wants to dig their garden up to save a few litres of water when theres 210 litre butts available, unless your a window-cleaner of course.

I see they come with a pump, filter and diverter too. Nice loss being made on these no doubt.

Could be fun getting them round the back of properties, bearing in mind the size, have to roll it Id imagine.

You could always cut the top half off and have a ready made swimming pool :D

Post some pics when you got the machine in to do the digging.

Could be fun.

Good luck.

Me thinks it should have been £500 not £50. I was thinking of getting 1 or two and sticking them on ebay ;D

Is the link working for anyone else?

Looks like they dropped Boll@ck and now trying to get out of it. You do have the text from this forum to back you up if you suspect they are try to get out of it.
