Give it a few hours -

The cooler is empty. There are spare bottles on the floor next to it. Nobody is prepared to fill it. The Remoaners because it's English Buxton water and besides they thought they'd imported a load of immigrants for that kind of thing. The Brexiters because they've already paid for it doing and are fecked if they're going to pay twice for the same thing.

Truth be known, I'm actually a San Pellegrino sparkling water kind o' gal.

It's harder than ever to find it in proper bottles now, and I'm damned if I'll drink fizzy water from plastic bottles!

Larger bottles tend to be glass while the small ones are all plastic.

I'll chip in something all CUKers can associate with.

In the mid-victorian era making cloth dyes 'fast' was achieved using a process developed by the ancient Romans. This involved reducing down large quantities of Urine. This was done in the North of England (some things never change). This therefore involved chartering large numbers of ships to transport it. Now, a ships Captain was a 'pillar of the society job' so they got invited to all the nobs do's. Of course if it got out what the normal cargo was they'd get taken down a peg or two, so if you got accused of 'taking the p*ss' this was a fairly serious allegation you wanted to avoid.
