My tap water is lovely. I live in a hard water area so the water actually has a taste and it is lovely, very refreshing. The water in my sisters house tastes like chalk though

The water in the cold water taps in my bathroom tastes yummy, I think the dead birds in the cold water tank help.

My worst was in bar/restaurant just next to Covent Garden - we had my pal's son who was 14 with us - AND THIS IS 3 YEARS AGO..........we had beers/bought him the requested bottle of sparkly water with meal

The water was Ł10 -oh FFS - tap water bartender next round!

Remember "Evian" backwards is "Naive"
Bottled water is just a rip off - for gullible people daft enough to pay for something that is clean, healthy and considerally cheaper from our taps.

I drink water from my bathroom all the time. Tastes no different.

Those that say their water tastes nasty, you probably live in hard water area or you need your pipes a good scrubbing. Limescale is horrible. We had some of it in our very old kettle and wouldn't get filtered. It was like we were drinking liquid metal.

Tap water tastes better when its ice cold. I fill up a small bottle and keep it in freezer for a while. In the summer I fill my bike bottle up and freeze it totally. Then when you go out in the heat it slowly melts and you get refreshing ice cold water.

Bottled water is a total rip off. Its a well known fact many of these companies fill these bottles with tap water! Like, duh.

From many moons ago, the Director of Water Services at my local authority did tell me bottled water is likely to have more contaminents than what comes out of a UK tap - 3 weeks later Levian proved him correct!
