Looking up hoping he will throw a kind word down at us. Oh how mighty Britannia has fallen. We'll get a great trade deal with America, maybe the greatest ever. Just so long as we allow American firms to run the NHS, imports of unlabelled GM foods and meat pumped full of antibiotics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally the same as the proportion of Germans that voted for the National Socialist party in 1932. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( unlesss you have your own natural spring or borehole ) Tbh if your drinking water had been from an open tank in the roof space you would probably have got legionella or crytosporidium by now . Basically the rule is to only drink, cook and wash food from your cold tap and NEVER fill the kettle from the hot tap.....not so bad if you've got a combi-boiler as that is cold fed from the mains and the hot water, therefore is cold mains water heated up but I still wouldn't fill the kettle from it!

You wouldn't get legionella from a hot water tap either as the calorifier that supplies it is set to a high enough temperature to kill legionella. Basically all taps have potable water, you can drink it but you wouldn't want to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's almost what I do but as I said previously the cold water in my kitchen sink tap tastes of iron? fluoride? bromide? and it is never cold (as in refreshing). I much prefer to drink Highland Spring water (from my fridge) which hopefully helps keep some Scots in employment. 2 minutes ago, AUFC90 said: You wouldn't get legionella from a hot water tap either as the calorifier that supplies it is set to a high enough temperature to kill legionella.

Back in the day it wis sweaty socks for a filter. I'll check it out Rob but I still prefer tae drink Highland Spring frae the fridge. It also helps (in a wee way) tae keep Scots in employment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
