Title: B&Q Orange bucket
Post by: Dean Taberner on December 19, 2009, 11:05:11 pm: Has anybody ever bought one of these?

I left my bucket on a lidl a while back and only found out 20 mile down the road at the next lidl,

I popped into the local B&Q and bought one of these beauties for £1

Its by far the worst £1 ive ever spent,

On the journey to the next lidl it some how got smashed into about 2000 pieces due to the water splashing about in it,

I would have been better off buying a kinder egg, breaking it in half and using that,

Its only after several months that I can bring myself to talk about this experience,

I know its only £1 but they are unsellable!!

Anyone else come across these?

Anyway, rant over and curry time.

Dean

i am not sure they are meant to be a serious builders bucket
