1. A support member and dispensing container assembly for gels or liquids comprising: a support member which rigidly attaches to a support structure which has an engagement means to releasably hold a container to form a rigid connection whereby the dispensing end of the container faces downwards, enabling a user unrestricted access to the sides of the container to enable product to be squeezed from the container:a free standing, self contained, fully sealed squeeze to use dispensing container for gels or liquids featuring a dispensing aperture at one first end of the container to dispense product, which can be connected to and released from the support member solely by holding and manipulating the dispensing container relative to the support member; andan engagement means comprising a pre-moulded first component on the dispensing container second end which releasably interlocks with a second component on the support member by rotating the first component relative to the second component and then unlocks by rotating the first component relative to the second component in the opposite direction, the interlocking means between the first and second components comprising a structure selected from the group consisting a key or key way, screw thread, bayonet style connector or other rotating interlocking action; anda dispensing container with a surface contact means at a second end of the container opposing said first end allowing the dispensing container to stand on a surface on the surface contact means. 2. An assembly for dispensing liquids or gels comprising: a dispensing container for gels or liquids which is free standing and fully sealed, the dispensing container having a first end from which a dispensing aperture dispenses a liquid or gel when the dispensing container is squeezed, and a second end which features a first engagement component, and a main axis between the first end and the second end,a support member capable of being rigidly attached to a support structure, and having a second engagement component,the first engagement component and the second engagement component being capable of co-operating to releasably and rigidly hold the container so that the dispensing end of the container faces downwards, the first engagement component capable of interlocking with the second engagement component by rotating the first engagement component relative to the second engagement component in a first direction about the main axis, and thereafter the first engagement component capable of unlocking from the second engagement component by rotating the first engagement component relative to the second engagement component in a second opposite direction about the main axis. 3. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the rotation of the first engagement component relative to the second engagement component in is the horizontal plane. 4. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the first engagement component and second engagement component comprises a key or keyway, a screw thread or a bayonet style connector. 5. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the container does not feature a through hole. 6. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the first engagement component on the dispensing container is insertable into the second engagement component on the support member. 7. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the second engagement component on the support member is insertable into the first engagement component on the dispensing container. 8. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the dispensing container is shaped at the first end of the container to allow the container to freely stand on the first end. 9. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the dispensing container is shaped at the second end of the container opposing the first end to allow the container to freely stand on the second end. 10. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the first end of the container includes a cap which can be removed and fitted onto the second end of the container, enabling the dispensing container to fit into the second engagement component to form a rigid connection. 11. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the engagement means predetermines the orientation of the dispensing container relative to the support member. 12. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the support member is adapted to be mounted under a surface whereby the dispensing container can depend below the surface. 13. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the support member is non-invasively attached to the support structure. 14. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the support member features an adhesive surface to secure the support member to a support structure. 15. An assembly according to claim 2, comprising a support member which can be secured to a support structure using suction pads. 16. A support member and dispensing container system according to claim 2, comprising a support member that can be secured to a vertical surface by means of an adhesive layer or suction pads. 17. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the dispensing container can be inserted into the second engagement component with a single hand. 18. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the dispensing container can be removed from the second engagement component with a single hand. 19. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the dispensing container can be inserted into the second engagement component with a single action. 20. An assembly according to claim 2, wherein the dispensing container can be removed from the second engagement component with a single action.
