Bottled Water

DEFRA has a list of recognised mineral water sources.
http://www.defra.gov.uk/food-farm/food/standards/recognised-mineral-water/
My 12 bottles for £1.99 from Aldi aren't listed.
Although they do only say "taken from the MAPLE spring", "Bottled at MAPLE spring, Fradley Park, Lichfield"
Oh well, tastes like tap water.
I have a 1ltr metal bottle that I use for work and refil from filtered tap water at home but for other persuits like going out for the day, traveling, sports I'll use plastic bottles that I've bought and then refil. I have no problem buying bottles water when out.

Water to your kitchen tap has to be direct from the mains, most pre 2000's houses the other taps are frd from the water tank in the loft... still from the mains but unless the tank is sealed (probably not) dust and **** can get in. Old tower blocks have to have these checked every 6 months incase of rodents dieing in the water or excessive crap gettign in the water, when did you check your water tank?

Only buy bottled water if you have no water and are desperate. Otherwise fill up an empty bottle of whatever (probably pepsi or something), or get a decent, hard, durable, plastic bottle. Or if the water tastes hideous *coughhighwycombecough*

Water from the tap up North fine.
Water down south minging.
I rather buy bottled water when Im south than drink from the taps.

Should try it in London mate. Can't get a good brew in London for love nor money. Further north you go the better they get.
I only buy bottled when I can't be bothered to find a bottle at home to fill up or when I don't have one on me. But when I do, it's ALWAYS bloody Buxton, not that I consciously choose it or it tastes any better, I just grab a bottle and it always turns out to be Buxton!
I buy Buxton if I'm out and thirsty, if I drink water at home its filtered tap.
I used to drink like 2 litre bottles of fizzy pop in 3 days or so maybe less and i never buy fizzy when I'm out, I'll either buy water cause its cheaper or bottled squash like ribena

Yeah all those chemicals like dihydrogen monoxide. It's well rank.
Use Brita filter at home.
Sometimes buy water when I'm out and have a quench for it.
Use cheap Tesco bottled water (£2.10 for 12l) for my coffee machine as it's low in TDR and calcium meaning the machine doesn't get much scale and it's good water for the coffee.
