1. A collapsible transport container comprising: a base;a roof;a side wall rotatable relative to the base, the roof being configured to rest on an end of the side wall when the collapsible transport container is in an assembled condition; anda linkage operably connecting the side wall to the roof, the connecting linkage comprising, a first rigid link having a first end rotatably connected to the side wall at or adjacent the end of the side wall, anda second rigid link having a first end rotatably connected to a second end of the first rigid link opposite the first end of the first rigid link and a second end rotatably connected to the roof. 2. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 1, wherein: the first and second rigid links are connected by a hinge, andthe first and second rigid links are configured to rotate in the same rotational direction when the collapsible transport container is collapsed from the assembled condition to a collapsed condition. 3. The collapsible transport container as claimed claim 1, wherein the roof is connected to two opposed side walls via the connecting linkage allowing for raising the roof, inward pivoting motion of the side walls towards the base and beneath the roof and then lowering the roof onto the collapsed side walls. 4. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 3, wherein the collapsible transport container further comprises two elongated and opposed walls hinged to the base and inwardly rotatable towards the base, which walls have a greater length than the side walls connected to the roof. 5. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first rigid link is provided with a recess which is shaped to accommodate a top of the side wall when the container is in a collapsed condition. 6. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 5, wherein the second rigid link is substantially straight. 7. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 5, wherein the first rigid link is bent, the recess being defined by the concave face of the bent first rigid link. 8. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 7, wherein the first rigid link is L-shaped, the recess being defined between limbs of the L-shaped first rigid link. 9. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first rigid link is attached to a bracket extending from a surface of the side wall facing an interior of the collapsible transport container. 10. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 9, wherein the point at which the first rigid link attaches to the bracket is above a top surface of the side wall. 11. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 1, wherein means to limit rotation of the first rigid link relative to the second rigid link is present. 12. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 1, wherein a plate is fixed to one of the first and second rigid links and overlaps the other of the first and second rigid links. 13. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting linkage connects to the roof via a hinge. 14. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting linkage connects to the roof at a fixed location. 15. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 1, wherein the connecting linkage connects to the roof via a sliding connection. 16. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 15, wherein the sliding connection is formed by a pin to which the connecting linkage is attached and which is slidably received within a rail formed on the roof. 17. The collapsible transport container according to claim 1, wherein first and second rigid links are connected by a hinge and wherein the roof is connected to two opposed side walls via the connecting linkage allowing for raising the roof, inward pivoting motion of the side walls towards the base and beneath the roof and then lowering the roof onto the collapsed side walls, and whereinthe collapsible transport container further comprises two elongated and opposed walls hinged to the base and inwardly rotatable towards the base, which walls have a greater length than the side walls connected to the roof. 18. The collapsible transport container as claimed in claim 17, wherein the connecting linkage connects to the roof via a sliding connection and wherein the sliding connection is formed by a pin to which the connecting linkage is attached and which is slidably received within a rail formed on the roof. 19. A method of folding the collapsible container as claimed in claim 17, by lifting the roof from the side wall, wherein the side wall or side walls pivot inwardly towards the base and subsequently lowering the roof resulting in that the side wall or side walls further pivot towards the base. 20. The method according to claim 19, wherein the collapsible transport container further comprises two elongated and opposed walls hinged to the base and inwardly rotatable towards the base, which walls have a greater length than the side walls connected to the roof and wherein these two elongated and opposed walls are in turn first pivoted inwardly towards the base before lifting the roof.
