Bottled if I'm on the run somewhere, filtered tap at home (usually with a bit of lemon).....

Clonge, Fosters is lolly water, no one that i know touches the stuff; as for xxxx, it's virtually the same, Tassie's James Boags or South Aussie Coopers a true Man's Beer, i drink Pure Blonde myself. :)

My tap comes from a well 140 feet below ground. Run it through a ultraviolet disinfection light, a 4 foot tall carbon filter tank, then a water softener, then an reverse osmosis system, then an alkaline mineral filter. Great tasting . Never have ever ran out of water.

The alkaline mineral filter puts the good stuff back in. Get water tested once a year. Really good system ,good quality water. There are more oil wells , fracking, salt water disposal areas around here. No contamination though. Have not ever heard of it either. Problem in areas is where these dirt farmers are sucking the water out of the ground at 600 gallons a minute just to grow cotton.

Before moving to Scotland I only drank bottled water but now I drink tap water only.

Explanation: The town in Texas where I grew up has repulsive water. It is off coloured, smells like a mixture of dead fish and bleach and has white floaters which settles to the bottom of the glass.

The water from the tap here in Scotland is clear and odorless with no visible sediment. In my opinion, the water in the region of Scotland where we live tastes just as good as bottled water if not better.

Funny story: I sent ROMOS a sample of my hometown water to taste while we were videoing one evening on Skype and he almost puked. LOL

You probably experienced the "city" water Kent, mostly it's very very good quality.

No, i was joking Roy, it tastes like spring water, any water would be good compared to Adelaide's hard water, foreigners can't drink it. :)

Romos, the Texas water must be straight from the Dam, no filter at all or does it come straight from the 'Rio Grande'.

From the well, In the house it runs through a water softener then through a carbon filter In the fridge. I personally like the outside tap, Its unfiltered has a totally different taste too it.s much better in my opinion. If its unfiltered in the house it has so much iron that the sinks and toilets turn red with rust. there's so much gas in it that you can fill a gallon mike jug and hold a match on top and it will have a glow to it. also the wife didn't believe me when we were first married that it was gas. I held a match to the open faucet, when it started spitting I had flames two feet high. She said some words I can't put on here... Other than that if I drink water from a bottle it usually has a little hops or corn or and other added ingredients in it.

Most of us give a great big f*** about the pollution and corruption that permeates our society. Many times I've expressed a concern to some self-serving politician who bought his job. Not one has bothered to try to do anything.

Sorry P, not quite what I meant, I was just wondering if anyone ever gave a thought that other countries have natural resources to hand or mouth, so to speak, there are still many countries in this world that are water starved, but money NEVER seems to make a difference.

Bob/PKB

Our newspapers and newscasts devote a page or a minute to peaceful places and people, focusing on murders, corruption, scandal. We know there are pristine places elsewhere, even here, but unless we make a personal, concerted effort to learn about other places, people, and their lives, we're going to go through life without a clue. What I don't know about the needs of others is staggering
