Strange and useless things.

"Pistonheads" suggests car related matters in common.

Yes, and?

Water filter jugs.

I've just lobbed our fairly new one into the plastic recycling bin, as I am NOT paying £9 for a couple of lousy filters that don't (IN MY OPINION) appear to do anything other than pamper to the do gooders of society.
Mrs G has rescued it but I shall find it and re-lob it.

Been drinking tap water all me life, so it can't be that bad.

Quite so.

You are a beacon of health to us all. I am surprised you don't bottle it and sell it to the world.

Seriously though, what you lot reckon to these flamin' 'purified' water jugs then?
I personally think they are just a fantasticly profitable marketing ploy to con all these health fanatical plant pots....like Mrs G for instance.

Since you ask:
I tend to drink water liberally pre-treated with Hops and Malted Barley and I know that water has been filtered and "Burtonised".

Filtered water makes no difference to boiled water used to make a cup of tea so I wouldn't use it for that purpose.

It is generally reckoned that tap water in the Thames Water area has passed through seven other people before you drink it ~ I can see a value in filtering that if only for peace of mind.

Living relatively near to the source of the Thames myself, I don't know what the fuss is about.

First in line as usual eh?

All water is dinosaur piss, originally like.

I could bore the arse off you with tales of glacial melt waters which form the basis (still) of many Welsh reservoirs but I won't.

[Nick]

It's all still dinosaur piss

We used to have one here as the water is soooo freaking hard and the kettle furred up in a couple of days...

Also, the water 'main' here is a plastic pipe that snakes around the village... it is regularly dug up by developers and we get loads of sand through the pipes when they re-join them...

In the house we now have a sand filter and a reverse osmosis purification unit with UV purifier...

Even dinosaur piss doesn't get through that lot! 

[Grumpmeister]

It's all still dinosaur piss 

Nick was there all those years ago to witness it...

I do wish you'd remember to call it the "House Wine"

I thought it started near here?

Quite correct JOM.
I did say relatively to ensure it was understood I was towards the shallow end and the other five people through which the waters of the Isis have passed, are downstream from me.
