I FEEL I must write this as a form of chastisement to my friend Adrian Taylor (Letters, March 2), who surfs the net, then does a 60-mile round trip for a water butt he could have purchased from our fantastic DIY and hardware shop about 300 metres from his home, who would have delivered it free of charge.
They may not have a fancy website, but they do have an amazing stock, including water butts, and if we don’t use them one day we will lose them.
As for the cost of fuel and the carbon footprint, I won’t go there.
Adrian, are you sure it wasn’t a butcher’s website you were on, because all you ended up with was a load of porkies?
