They give bottles of the stuff away free where I work now.
At my last-but-one contract, the bloke sitting next to me was never without a bottle of the stuff in his hand, and it seemed that every minute there would be a big slurp as he took a mouthful. It got on my nerves in the end. I'd rather he smoked!

When I lived in Slough the tap water was foul and undrinkable if you had any taste buds. The chemical smell put me off. But, pass it through a filter, and it was okay.
I buy Sainsbury's fizzy water with lemon juice as it saves me having to filter, carbonate and flavour tap water.

It's not the chalk I'd worry about, it's the female hormones... drink enough & you'll start growing breasts.

Do what the permies at my current shop do... take a big bottle of Evian in to work - and fill it up from the supplied 'spring water' ... amazingly they all go home with full bottles... mmmmm
I think the IR should investigate this as a 'benefit in kind'...

At least I'm not drinking something that someone else drunk last week. And someone else the week before that. Ad infinitum. I'd definitely settle for a little bacteria against drinking someone else's piss.

Hey, if you can afford to pay 10,000 times as much, why not?
I use bottled water for bathing and washing my car.

It is the result of rampant capitalism - if there is a demand, no matter how perverse, there is a price.

And since it isn't treated, it still has all the nice bacteria in it that get killed by the chlorine in tap water
