Today i was kidsitting and he made himself a drink of sarsparilla with water and he said that it was better with fizzy (sparkling) water and I said that it tastes just as good with corporation pop. He asked me what that was and i said water from the tap and he said he'd never heard that before and water wasnt pop and why was it called corporation pop. I told him it was something what my mum and dad said to me when i was a kid and it just meant water from the tap and he said but why - i said that many years ago instead of it being united utilities that the water used to be owned by the councils. That managed to shut him up for a bit but i was thinking is that right?
