    I just checked my local Argos and they have none. Wish they would get their butt over here.

    I bought one of these from Argos today.

    Part of the stand was cracked and the thing leaks from around the tap even although I had plenty PTFE tape on the threads.

    I drained it again and put sealant in the hole and even more PTFE thread on and it's now sitting in the hall drying. I'm not confident it will work, I suspect the internal threads have small nicks which is where the water is escaping from.

    Not my best buy ever. I wish I'd opted for a better quality one.

    I have reserved the last one in Cheltenham. Thank you
  • I've just re checked my area and there are more in stock for collection in Cambridge. There were none last week, so it might be good to check again.

    Hi guys, just picked mine up and it's missing the tap! Came wrapped in a loose plastic bag which I thought it was odd.
    The stand and diverted were inside the butt, but no tap to be seen.
    Did you get yours in a box at all?
