Re: Bottled water
 

eres a question for ya...
Why does mineral water thats trickled down mountains for thousands of years have a use by date?.....emmmmm.......

Re: Bottled water
 

Just something i found on a website....

Coca-Cola's Dasani brand of bottled water was found to have illegally high levels of bromate, a cancer-causing chemical, say company executives in the UK. Coca-Cola, which had called their water, "as pure as bottled water gets," immediately recalled 500,000 bottles. It is, of course, a public relations disaster for the company, which has been trying to develop new markets other than soft drinks.

I drink loads of tap water. Ours is just fine and its always really cold. I will drink bottled water to if i'm out and want a drink, but I won't buy it in to have at home.

I will second that Willow!!! I have to leave my water running for about 2 minutes before I pour myself a glass, or it comes out murky and reeks of chlorine!! :(

Re: Bottled water
 

The chemical content of the water reacts with the plastic. Even bottled water if in glass has the same problem I think.

Re: Bottled water
 

I've never bothered with bottled water. The stuff that comes out of the tap has always done for me.:)

Re: Bottled water
 

Dont drink a lot of water. if i do it's from the tape with loads of ice.

We don't have much of a choice here. We used to lug eight litre bottles home from the supermarket until some enterprising soul came up with the idea of a water tanker.

He drives around the area every Saturday morning, tooting his horn, and all the locals take the empties out. At 90 cents for eight litres it isn't a bad deal.

Suppose it depends on where you are. I can taste the difference between the water at home and the water in Accy at the homes of different relatives as they all taste different. My answer has always been to stick vimto cordial in it. :)

The water, or Corporation pop, as my Granny used to call it, that we get in Ossy is great to drink.

When I lived in London the water was rank, and horrible to taste, and the limescale deposits meant a new kettle every year or so.

The tap water in Dorset is definitely the worst I've ever drunk, although the water in Tanzania came a close second, even though that could've killed you, which doesn't apply in Dorset.:D
