Something that amuses me is at least two of the UK bottled water brands are selling untouched tap water. Not treated, filtered, or with additives as mentioned in the article. Just tap water put in plastic bottles. One of them was selling Manchester tap water, I think, and doing quite well with it.
I can understand wanting bottled water in London where tap tastes terrible, being 80% limestone, but for the rest of the UK bottled is a pointless waste of money.
- jeff_vader 10y agoNow I want to visit Manchester and try the tap water there. I live in London and for some reason have absolutely no complaints about tap water here, I drink it all the time.
- Symbiote 10y agoI think it's just what you're used to -- I like London tap water, but dislike Manchester's water. There's a water hardness map for England (PDF): http://www.dwi.gov.uk/consumers/advice-leaflets/hardness_map.pdf http://www.dwi.gov.uk/consumers/advice-leaflets/hardness_map... (But you should go to Manchester anyway.)
- anexprogrammer 10y agoInteresting I'd not seen that map before.
