That depends where you live. Ours used to come out of adit about 1/2 a
mile away filtred through the sand and limestone of these parts from the
rain and sheep wee. It now comes from a reservior fed by rain and sheep
wee.

Other places take it from water courses with sewage works out falls a few
miles upstream...

Yebbut the rain comes from evaporation of all water sources :-)

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the

saying something like:


So, can anyone recommend cheap trousers for DIY tasks ?

Go down to your nearest industrial workwear shed and get a pair of troos
that are designed to take the flak.

Try your local charity shop.

ooooh! noooooo! the bloke might have died in them or worse still drop a
brownie.

Chzrioty shop clothes are always thoroughly cleaned before being put on
sale.

What difference would it make if someone had died in an article of
clothing?

There is a load of Yves St Laurent for sale at the moment in the Paris
Oxfam Shop.

It'll be in Lidl come the weekend

Either way, I'll not be buying it.

Yeah but at that point it has been distilled. OK it still picks up the
crap from the air but at least it leaves the crap in the river for the
direct absraction to use...

Given the long history of odd 'rains' (frogs, fish, etc.), plus bird and
insect detritus, I am really not exactly reassured by that... :-)

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious

Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.

Think of how many times it has been 'passed' before being drunk in the lower
reaches of the Trent. One or two less times on shorter rivers, but the water
can be fully used up to three times in its journey down the river. More
likely partly used up to 10 times though, so think how many times it has
already been used.

The point is that those molecules of even the purest water have been through
many thousands of guts.

I just wear underpants under a cotton boilersuit - it's quite comfortable.

You didn't want to know that, did you?...

Jumble sales went with the decrease in natural fibres. After a jumble sale,
the "rag man" used to take any clothes left over. Synthetic materials no
good - the rag man stopped coming and the chore of dumping the left over
stuff made them not worth doing.



Most charity shops have a system of sending unwanted clothing to textile
recyclers.
Patagonia - an high quality outdoor clothing company uses recycled
polyester and plastic bottles in its clothing range !
Buying and donating to charity shops is a very good way of recycling all
goods.

Never drink out of adits!

Adits exist because there's something in that hill that's worth
digging holes to get to it. Something metallic, probably something
soluble. If it's an adit, you don't want to be drinking it.

The "something metallic" is probably lead. The ground round here is a
honeycombe of old lead mines. This was a proper public water supply not a
private one and I don't think the adit used was an old mining one but one
put in to get a water supply.
