I don't understand it.
Down south, we dont usually get that much rain.
You northeners are always in rain arn't you?
Yet you've got the ban?
Usually its us moaning that the northerns should pipe down water to us

We've had shit loads of rain in the lakes over the last month but the pennines didn't have much so they've been taking our water to top theirs up  So we had a ban on us to help them out work that out

We drink the thames. In some places, water can be brownish nearer london
City yuppies pay more for water than we pay for petrol. But its mountain filtered yah yah yah....
Yeah, and my coffee is filtered, and boiled, and I didn't pay a penny for it?

Yes we drink the thames, however all the water from the thames that we drink comes upstream of teddington. The majority of it coming from around the hampton area.
None of the brownish shit gets anywhere near the taps.
I could go indepth to londons water supply.....but i wont.

tbh i dont drink it a lot. Only If i have to. most locals (pretty much all Spanish) drink it but they some some tourists may get ill etc because they are not used it, so recommend bottled.

if you're that bothered, do a bear gryll's episode and capture the rainwater, perfectly safe to drink, but you may be waiting some time to wash your car
