We have our own bore hole which supplies the whole farm and the farm house so we basically are drinking well water. You are right though, it does taste A LOT better than if you're on Severn Trent water for example. The only thing is that when we have torrential rain like last month when we had all the floods, the water went slightly brown.

Bet you didn't drink it, then. Not in the UK. If you were in Guyana, you would have no choice. Even hotel taps and showers pi$$ out brown water. Very scary rivers as well with crocs and sh7t like that. I crossed River Essequibo and some other ones in very precarious boats there. Essequibo was the scariest due to its sheer vastness, depth and never-ending length. Honestly, never again. My colleague took a pith, saying that if I did tumble over, they wouldn't be able to find me because I'm brown as well. So what he would do is that put up a plaque at my workplace with "Here worked great Swati who sadly died in a brown river called Essequibo". Baasturd!

Take the bananas out, and imagine me and my 5 other colleagues with a so-called water-wise local in that ramshackle of a boat. I don't know how I came back alive. I had to not just get to the island destination on it but also take back the same fccking hydro-route to come back to civilisation! Very cruel of my employers of that time indeed.

It doesn't look choppy there. In fact, it's a very choppy river! It does turn many boats over, and then there's no hope.

I have a 70,000 ish litre tank that collects the rain water off the roof then goes through a couple of filters here in Croatia, tastes fantastic and makes lovely tea. I really notice when I go back to UK and use tap water, tastes awful and dries my hair and skin out.

The tap water in scotland tastes pretty good
When i was down in poole and a couple of other places in england i remember drinking the tap water and it was not very nice i cant remember what is in the english water if its lime or something but i can taste it.

Fresh filtered rain water would be nice as there is no chemicals used to purify it

hard water was the the name I was looking for in my earlier post which has a high content of minerals and one of those minerals being limestone which is common in places in england hence why in some places you get limescale build ups on the elements in kettles and also in boilers.

and I did not use the term lime water I said I think its lime in the water

you probably thought it was fruit I was talking about
