Re: Bottled water.

Tapwater is regulated (I don't think bottled waters are?). Tapwater occasionally has problems - there was Cryptosporidium in the local reservoir a couple of years back. Then, there were problems last year from the floods when tapwater supply was turned off...
One of the bottled water companies has a campaign at the moment - if you buy 1L of their water, they provide 10L to those in Africa?
OH likes the flavoured bottled waters. The bottles get re-used, or converted into useful things like mini-propagators, anti-slug measures,... although this can be taken too far (someone has built a greenhouse glazing with 2-litre pop-bottles!).
