Do you like tap water? Straight up tap water with nothing in it?

I prefer bottled sparkling but after John Barnes telling me the plastic bottles take 400 years to biodegrade I feel I need to drink more tap.

Don't want big John on my case.

What about you?

My nan’s spare room.

I’m from Lancashire and the tap water or corporation pop as my dad called it was great. There’s nothing better for making your Vimto. Mind you when I was a kid NW water didn’t even add fluoride to the water, tasted great but now I’ve got no teeth.

I live in the West Midlands now and the tap water is awful, full of lime and all sorts.

I like tap water from the Lake District, North Wales, those sorts of soft water areas.

I like sparkling water also but the glass bottle ones taste better. There's another reason to forego the plastic bottle.

Always tap water unless we're out and about and have forgotten to take a bottle of tap water from home.

its actually worse than that as well as the bottles lorries have to deliver the bottles to the bottling factory, energy is used by the factory to bottle the water, lorries then deliver it to warehouses, they use energy to store and sort it then more lorries deliver it to shops or... you just turn on a tap and in my area gravity delivers it from north wales to my tap.

I must admit, I prefer bottled water but I am conscious about plastic use and being eco. I have made certain changes in my life to curb using plastic that I feel I can warrant buying bottled water *sometimes, not all*.

Tap water all the way. Worked in lab that looked into the plastic pollutants that is in bottled water. I don't trust shops etc to keep plastic bottles out of sunlight.

But the drinking water is nice where I am, it's not as nice in different parts of the country.

Tap waters fine here, in other countries it’s a necessity to drink bottled unfortunately.

But I’ve a Katadyn water filter for wild camping and will pump straight from a flowing water source. And it’s good to drink

Only through a Britta filter. Our kettle is also filled with filtered water to make hot drinks. Whether in a soft or hard water area, the difference in taste is massive. No chemical taste and no limescale in the kettle...or the iron for that matter.

I think it’s a bizarre situation in this country.

We have one of the most sophisticated water cleaning infrastructures on the planet, designed to deliver fresh drinking water direct to taps inside your home.

And yet people go out and buy the exact same stuff in a plastic bottle, for 100x the price !

Can you imagine if someone came up with a business idea on dragons den to install an underground pipeline system to deliver freshly sanitised water directly to EVERY home in the entire country, and then charge only a meagre sum for using it? They’d be laughed out of town.

Yet here we are, with exactly that, and most of us don’t even use it

Get yourselves 2x Britta filter jugs and always have one full and in the fridge. You’ll save hundreds of £££‘s per year and you’ll also do your small part in stopping killing the sea

But fluoridation makes tap water taste vile. Flouride is banned in many countries as it's a poison..yet we put in in our water and toothpaste!

Having a sophisticated water system...Next time we have a hosepipe ban after 2 weeks of sun, yet we are an island...think how good is our system really.

Nuclear subs can stay at sea for 40+ years ( only surfacing to replenish food and medicines) and they have on-board desalination plants to filter and purify seawater. These desalination plants could be built on a larger scale all around our coastline and pumped directly inland...not quite as technologically advanced as we could be are we? Especially when many parts of the country still have to pay extra again to filter vile tasting tap water using Britta or other such systems.

And whoever is talking about desalinated water - tastes grim and is horrendous from a perspective of electricity use. It also creates hypersaline water that has to be discharged somewhere. Doing this on a small scale is tolerable but it's not on a very large scale.
