So, what happened today?

Agree about standard of water in Southern England, the water in Florida tastes of gas, I think it's what they used to pump it around.
Didn't get my birthday call from Gary Mabbutt yesterday, thought he heard I'd stop going to games, surprise this morning when I had a call from him apologising as he was away with family yesterday, what a gent and a lovely gesture.

It’s hard water - calcium from chalk and limestone and other limey sediments dissolves into the groundwater that is then pumped up into the water supply. It’s natural enough.

However it results in a scum of calcium on the surface when I make a cuppa and big crusty flakes of limescale sometimes find their way from kettle to mug. Our tea takes longer to steep and tastes much worse than from your lovely soft waters.

The soft waters are much kinder to hair and skin.

The water in London at least, taste like chlorine to me. I can't really drink it unless I really really need to have a sip. First time I drank it I was sure I was getting poisoned from it, haha.

Water will be more valuable than oil in some places in the not-too-distant future. Groundwater use has not been managed properly so the aquifers are not being replenished. Some parts of America could be facing dust bowl conditions again.

Another travesty is that we use some of the best-quality water in the world to flush our toilets.

Definetly. In parts of India Coca Cola is cheaper than clean water. At least it used to be.

Really?! Such a legend! Wow. We could do with some of his defensive heroics today. Gent on and off the field. Happy birthday, mate! Hope you had a good one.

Not a happening per say, but just wanted to give a shoutout to the tap water in Norway in the winter. Its amazing! When its cold out, the tap water gets really really nice and cold. So good. I could drink it all day long. It's like a fine Rolls Royce to England's rusty old Lada. Worth experiencing!

When I go to the Alps (eg Morzine) the tap water is soooo nice, you really notice the difference.

And even showering in it for a week or so just does wonders for your skin and hair.

The water in some parts of England is awful, but that is more to do with the geology (?) than anything else.
The water in Scotland is far superior and I would think it's the same in Norway.

I rarely drink water as i have been told the fish make love in it.

It's their other bodily functions I worry about.
