Supporters Ian_Gere Posted October 13, 2014 Supporters Share Posted October 13, 2014 When I was a student in Liverpool a bunch of us used to club together to buy bottled water in bulk - because the tap water tasted like it had been through one too many scouser prior to arriving through our taps.

Chock Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Actually, being able to afford anything when I was a student was a bloody miracle, it all went on getting wrecked Ian_Gere and cavninja 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Lozart Posted October 13, 2014 Supporters Share Posted October 13, 2014 You can tell all the people that don't have their own house. They're the ones that think tap water is free. Ian_Gere, Mack and UIVenger 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters jcheeseright Posted October 13, 2014 Supporters Share Posted October 13, 2014 If you're a student living in halls then tap water IS free. For those of us who pay water bills though; if you could drink enough tap water to affect your monthly bill by the cost of even 5 litres of bottled water I'd be amazed! A cubic metre of water (1,000 litres) from southwest water (most expensive in the country) is £2.05. Tesco value bottled water is 19p for 2 litres, a cubic metre of water at that rate is £95, 2 litres of tap water is £0.0041. Tap water is effectively free if you're drinking it. cropzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know there is such a thing as a "principle". Effectively free isn't free. Someone has to pay for the water in student halls same as the water that comes out of ANY tap.

Supporters jcheeseright Posted October 13, 2014 Supporters Share Posted October 13, 2014 yeah, the students will be paying for that water, as well as the council tax, electricity and gas bills. doesn't change the fact that buying bottled water is daft! cropzy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Ian_Gere Posted October 13, 2014 Supporters Share Posted October 13, 2014 Not if the tap water tastes so horrible that you regularly find yourself dehydrated because subconscious disgust prevents you from drinking enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've clearly never tasted the tap water in Basingstoke. Plus we bourgoisie have standards you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chock Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Obviously as airsofters we have to buy bottled water; clearly 'spring water' is the only thing suitable to wash the internal mechanism of your airsoft weapon.

AirsoftTed Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I won't drink the tap water where I live in South East London, it's vile. In Glasgow however it's pretty clean and nice tasting so I've no quarrel drinking it there. The difference in water becomes apparent in that when I return to London, my hair doesn't feel "wet" in the shower. Its incredibly hard to explain but I think it must be something to do with hard/soft water and all that rubbish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife moved here from South Devon which has some of the softest water in the country. The difference in soap consumption is ridiculous!

Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I've never drunken tap water in my life. Here where I live in ireland the shit has particles of unknown substance floating in it and it reeks of chlorine,not to mention tastes foul. In Ukraine it's a little more natural but sometimes it comes with some nice soviet probably harmful chemicals with a sickening grey tinge. In the countryside it's even worse,shit's downright rusty.

team flex Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Don't know much on the topic, however have tap water through more filters, instead of the standard tap water (that has been filtered by a company) an the difference is unbelievable Tbh, could be a bad thing, filtering out the minerals and leaving the pathogens (big boy biology now ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
