- wherein the container comprises a second part, wherein the second part is positioned so that it prevents access through the first opening when the container is not in use, but is moveable to allow access to the first opening when the container is in use;
- and
- wherein the container comprises a locking means wherein the locking means comprises a first locking component on the first part and a second locking component on the second part, wherein the first locking component engages the second locking component to prevent movement of the second part to allow access to the first opening until the first locking component and second locking component are disengaged from one another by a user;
