Re: Bottled water
It's just a fashion and all clever marketing, when most of us know full well that tap water is much safer with less bacteria, and 1,500 times cheaper.
Had the big water dispensers at work, but at lunch always used to get my water in the canteen from the tap (as none in there) .. colleagues used to comment "Ugh, you not drinking from that tap, are you?" Didn't argue as they sat there with their expensive bottles .. just drank with smug thoughts.
Remember re. the survey where you could pick up the most bacteria/viruses .. the water fountain came out on top at work as against keyboards, toilet seats, etc .. but this slightly different subject I know .. just put me off getting one from the dispenser at work !
Once went to a lecture given by a gentleman from the Water Board, he explained that the clear plastic bottles let in more bacteria than the ones in blue/green plastics.
They are useful to get when you are out and about though and very few water fountains available like there used to be, as in parks.
Neil: Is there one in Rhyddings now ?
Not a very thirsty person anyway and even in warm weather, never long for a drink. Like everyone else, always take one out with me (and drink inside) when abroad as you can feel yourself going a little dizzy when really warm if you don't tank yerself up.
Yes, should concentrate on the countries that die through lack of pure water .. sure the stastitic I heard the other day was 15,000 people per day throughout the world .. how lucky are we !
