ver the years there has been much angst over pallets being used for anything but their intended purpose. Now one of my colleagues has been noticing novel uses for ISO containers.
One publisher is known to use one for storing exhibition gear and freebies such as T-shirts for ardent readers. Another container has been seen being used as a general shed and storage area on an estate of high-rise flats.
Now one of my colleagues has noticed one put to very good use (from the golfer's point of view) as a tea hut near the eighth and tenth tees on a course in west London. The obliging gent who runs the catering emporium has it fitted out with cooker, microwave and kitchen sink and dispenses tasty snacks and beverages.
As it is sited on a remote part of the course some way from the clubhouse its main advantage is its high security when darkness falls and the golfers retire to the nineteenth hole.
