Default Wanted, simple mains powered water pump for garden

Electric drill pumps were what I used to use, just clamp the drill
somewhere a and shove it in the chuck with a hose on each end. Note, good
idea to fit a filter on the input end.

Is there such a thing? We just want a simple pump with (probably)
BSP/Hozelock input and output connectors for moving water from one
water butt to another and/or pumping water into the greenhouse.

Doesn't need to be continuous rated, it will only get run for tens of
minutes. Submersible pumps don't fill the bill. Needs to be able to
self prime and lift water a metre or so on the suction side.

You'd think it was a simple requirement but there really doesn't seem
to be such a thing at a sensible price (i.e. less than £100,
preferably a lot less).

Any ideas?
