Yeah they are expensive to hire.  We looked at them for our wedding. 

So I did some thinking what I thought would be fair hire cost

often (not all) they come with a lot of sweets enough to restock.

Then they need to drop it of and pick it up

Not sure what sweets costs  but £50-£80 of sweets must be more than enough to feed kids

Then delivery £15-20 pick up £15-20 total. £30-40

Then the hire charge one would think £60 would be fair.

So max total £180    So charging £200 for hire I thought would max.

In the end we didn't hire one for our wedding decided didn't want to pay that

One of my good friends always says "no good deed goes unpunished."

Very nice project, too bad you have to trip over it and stack stuff on it for years to come.

I would have thought you would just use a Maxi-systainer.  [poke]
