Hi there. I was wondering where would be the cheapest place in the city centre or nearby that I could buy plastic buckets? I need them for clothes that have to be hand washed. Thanks

Probably B&Q they have these orange buckets that you can use as baskets and they buy for 99p reasonable quality and size.

Be careful. My earlier suggestion of Buckets'R'Us was removed from the thread immediatley and inexplicably. What about Tub-U-Like?

Don't be mean!

When anybody first moves to a new place, they obviously aren't going to know the best place to buy stuff.

One solution, I suppose, is to go wandering around local shops or the city centre, trying to find somewhere. A more sensible solution is to ask on a local forum, in the hopes that people will be friendly enough to offer good advice.

come on you didnt take this thread seriously did you?
how could anybody not no how to find a bucket? a quick walk down any shopping area near to where you live will result in you finding a bucket.
and as for the next question where can i get a tram from the uni to meadowhall from?
surely you have seen the tram stop just look at the timetable and stop locations. i have never caught a tram or even a bus in the last 15 years or so, but im sure i could manage to find my way into town from home if i needed to

I don't want to sound sarky, but 'where can I buy a bucket' is the silliest thread I've come across - the answer is just about anywhere - buckets are not rare or specialist items , like, say, 'where can I buy a tiger or an egyptian mummy.'

The CHEAPEST place for bucketS for clothes that have to be handwashed.

The OP, haven't you got room for a washing machine?
I'm sure you could pick one up for a tenner.

try buckets R us -or [url]www.ancientresource.com who seem to sell little bits of cloth for £100 in the hope that people will believe they were once wrapped round a dead egyptian - not an actual mummy tho is it, and the reason I said tiger and mummy in the 1st place is that they are both things I would really like to own - nowt on Ebay either

Brilliant :hihi:

How anyone could spark a discussion on the Sheffield forum with such an obscure question. Two pages and counting.

I hope you were taking the Michael as it is a funny way of starting debate.

She's probably got a washing machine for washing clothes that can be machine washed, hand washing needs to be washed in, uh, a bucket or something that means that you can wash it by hand....

My suggestion would be, wash your hand washing in the hand basin in the bathroom.

Then again, if you'd done that, you'd have deprived over 1000 people of viewing this thread! :)

There's a franchised outlet inside Tigerland. I think it's called Mummy-U-Like.

She might be a savvy student, in one of these new builds, which have no room for a washing machine and contravenes the (unfortunately) outdated space standards of the early 20th century. Or a converted 2 bed terrace, that's now a 4 bed HMO with up to 8 people living in it.
The communal washing machine might be expensive, and a shared sink might not be the best place to wash clothes with its high usage.

Or she could be taking the pis*.

I think the clue was in the word "handwashed" - as in delicate stuff, some sweaters & sometimes things that have stuff printed on them.

Having said that, I did think this thread was possibly one of the most feeble uses of the internet I've ever seen.

I'd go for the latter option. Has anyone noticed that the op hasn't posted on this thread since the thread opener?
