I don’t understand this at all. More plastic when our water is perfectly good.
Always reminds me of the ‘ Only Fools’ episode, where they were bottling’ Peckham Spring’ ?
So no...never drink bottled water.
Not to mention (I think) CocaCola, who were planning to launch a bottled water called Dasani here, until some newspaper revealed that it was going to come out of a tap in Sidcup! It was hastily pulled, but I’ve seen it in other countries.
Welshwife, I’m old enough to remember when you couldn’t take it for granted that French tap water was ‘potable’ - we were warned about it when I was on my first school trip to France at 14.
Otherwise I’m afraid to say that I think bottled water is the biggest, cleverest con ever perpetrated by France on the U.K.
Back in the early 80s, when we were living in a Middle Eastern desert, and our water came out of the tap hot and brown - it had to be filtered, boiled, and kept in the fridge before we could drink it - we were amazed on our annual trip back to the U.K. to find that bottled water had become a fashion. Because that’s what it is, IMO - a fashion.
