        Re: Tap Water

        Definitely remember having bottled water in 92/93 in the UK. I went to an exercise class with friends and we'd take little bottles of fizzy water flavoured with peach or pear (I think from M&S). It was the first time I'd come across it and thought it was the most sophisticated thing ever. From that I gather bottles of still water must have been making their mark then too.

            I have always drunk tap water and never bought the bottled stuff from the supermarket - I just think it's a waste of money. If water stopped coming out of the taps when I turned them on, then I might think otherwise.

            I often make the old joke that water tastes a lot better when it's diluted.

              Do you really believe the other side without provocation would launch so many ICBM's, subs and ships knowing that we would have no option to launch as well? It would break our MAD Treaty (Mutually Assured Destruction) not to mention the end of the world as we know it.

                That was the joke apparently ...

                I still prefer the local tapwater to any of this bottled stuff

                  Tap water for me too

                  If we were in the developing world; then bottled water is necessary as the 'tap' water there is not suitable for human consumption, what with all bugs & stuff in it

                  We here in the Western world should count ourselves lucky

                    There was a company in Yorkshire a few years ago that were caught bottling tap water and repackaging it . Made millions but the owners got off with a severe warning as I recall ..

                      I remember Coca Cola did almost the same thing with Dasani water, which was tap water given a light chemical process before being bottled.

                        Re: Tap Water

                        There's a Penn and Teller Bull%!$& episode where they serve really fancy-sounding exotic bottled water at a posh restaurant and the customers say how good it is and how superior it is to standard tap water...only what they are serving is actually tap water in fancy bottles and the customers are completely fooled.

                        Tap water for me, as well, unless I am in a developing country where it is not safe.

                                I used to live in the Lancashire village of Hesketh Bank. In the local pub the old fellers came out with humorous antidotes; especially if you plied them with beer lol
