There is a thread about this on mumsnet and I am kind boggled that there are people who never drink tap water but buy all their water in plastic bottles all the time.
Am I alone in finding this quite extraordinary?
All that plastic waste to deal with! What an environmental disaster!

When we lived in a City I was always amazed at the immigrants who had trolleys full of bottled water..

We have lived all over the country and water does vary, Thames water was the worst, we came home from 2 weeks away and there was some water in a sink that had accidentally been left, it had little shrimps in it🤮.
We had tests they said it was acceptable, we bought a filter, boiled and filtered all our drinking water.

For 3 years we lived in a house with our own spring water.
It was bliss, we had to have regular testing it was pure and delicious.

Some of the bottled water sold in supermarkets is filtered tap water!

I buy big bottles of sparkling water. The rest of my water consumption comes via the tap

I've been put off using the water stations at work after doing a biology class where we swabbed them for bacteria
