It always puzzles me that so many people pay totally OTT for various

something decent for a fraction the price.

What I find strange is those obviously not flush with cash buying lots of
bottled water.

When I have to live in London I buy lots of bottled water. Bought in bulk
it can be as low as 19p for two litres and paying for (the right sort of)
water is far better than drinking London tap water.

It probably IS tap water at that price.

Ah, Miserable Mother****er is an expert on everything, again.

There is nothing wrong with tapwater in this country. A shade too much
chlorine in it at the weekends when they double the dose that's all.

London water is pretty hard and bad for kettles, but ion exchange
filters are commonplace now so there is not problem fixing it.

Coke's expensive Dasani brandname famously *was* London tapwater except
that by adding the magic ingredients for "mineral water" they famously
produced a mixture with too much bromate not fit for human consumption.

London water analysts could not believe their luck. The whole product
launch for Dasani crashed and burned totally - never to return here.
