Tap waters fine here in England.

In fact ~ i remember a test they did on tv a few years back

A journalist ordered bottled water from a top London restaurant ~ compared it to actual English tap water

The tap water had LESS impurities whilst the bottled water cost an arm and part of a leg!!

go figure (Sorry ~ cant remember what the BRAND was)

Saw something similar

They set up this fake restaurant and people came in to taste water they claimed to be from everywhere...the glaciers of ____ the foothills of _____ the streams of _____
When in actual fact it was all water not just from the same tap, but run through a garden hose.

When people were told what it was and how it was said to taste 'heavier' 'move vibrant' they would agree and share between each other Just kinda shows how uptight we can be about things like that

there was a show done by Penn and Teller on showtime called "bullshit" and they would go around and basically make people look like morons by debunking certain popular beliefs, such as bottled water, penile/breast enhancement techniques (pills, lotions, pumps, etc) and they filled bottles of water up with garden hose water, and basically got the same result, people said it felt "crisp" and "lively" it was water from a garden hose
