I've washed it out with washing up liquid, but it still tastes of plastic.
What have you done to get rid of the taste?
Or do I just have to live with it?

Fill with bicarbonate of soda solution and leave over night soaking (bicarb is found in baking isle of supermarkets next to baking powder usually or a chemist with anti acid suiff

The homeopaths are gonna love this, my chemistry teacher told us that water dissolves everything in varying degrees and is therefore impossible to taste straight (Andy is right by the way of course) but the water from a plastic container will always to some degree taste of plastic, experiment with different vessels - glass, plastic, steel, aluminium, and drink straight from the tap, and if your taste buds are as sensitive as a lot of folk you'll tell the difference, in theory you could take one say 100ml of water and transfer it between all your vessels and it would in the final vessel taste a bit of them all but mostly of the final one. 
I have a strategy, it's not written in stone, nor can it be, this scenario has too many variables, everything about it depends on those variables, being specific is not possible.

Miltons tablets work for me.
Two is one and one is none, but three is even better.
