Jamaldo Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Tap water does not taste the same as bottled water (it's worse) and there is nothing wrong with buying the latter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if it is from a private supply and riddled with E coli. Sorry... the scars run deep. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Tap water does not taste the same as bottled water (it's worse) and there is nothing wrong with buying the latter.Depends on the circumstance - I don’t mind paying 20p for a 2 litre bottle of water at a supermarket but it gets a bit annoying when you pay £2 for 500 ml of it at a WH Smith near a train station. Also at nights clubs and festivals etc when people can easily get dehydrated and aren’t allowed to take their own bottles in with them then it’s not on either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domestic tap water is subject to far more stringent testing than bottled water and is less likely to contain any nasty things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still tastes like shite tho, unless its Highland. If you ever wonder who the person in the supermarket that actually buys the massive multipacks of bottled water, it's me. Spend a ridiculous amount of money on the stuff and don't even care. The hierarchy of water is thus: Highland tap water Any bottled water except Buxton water Buxton water Central belt tap water Raw sewage London tap water 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely consider this the worst of all the bottled waters I've had. And I don't generally find there's much of a difference between any of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All water as it exits a tap, ballcock etc is classed by the various water boards as 'used water' and is the user's responsibility thereafter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have quite a valid point for iron in the water from old pipes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Really don't like the Lucozade water. That's horrific. Smart water is where it's at in terms of bottled water. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I remember Coca Cola got some PR trouble after admitting that their branded "spring water" of the time was bottled straight from the tap in their factory near London. They did something similar on Only Fools and Horses, Eau de Peckham or something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
