How much is the volvo worth?

Oh yes, that's certainly true. I rarely bitch about the "high" price of gas, I don't like to pay more than I have to for anything and neither does anyone else, but it costs what it costs and it'll continue to go up.

Was that the first series or the second?

Peckham Spring?

LOL - That was a classic episode :)

Don't think that Dasani is the only one. Look at the labels of the others. Nothing is hidden. It is right there on the label. Tests have shown that in general New York City water is better than most all bottled waters in actual taste tests and in analysis, so spring water is not what it is cracked up to be. I will admit, that people in the UK my be better off in some areas with spring water.

We've got good old well water :-)

Every couple of years it gets tested and we get told there are too many nasties in it (faecal cauliforms - to do with the sheep nearby I suspect), but we don't care - it tastes lovely, and nobody seems to be suffering.

The message from Stephen Henning contains these words:

Depends on the springs. Where I grew up the water came straight out of the Noth Downs chalk. Till I was about five there wasn't any treatment, either - it just went straight into the pipes. Smashing stuff, but furred the kettle up in a few days. So hard babies cut their teeth on it.

First. I have an MPG of it, if you have an FTP site I'd be happy to upload it for you but it's combined with another episode and pushing on 200mb.

You probably build up a resistance to whatever nasty stuff is in it, not sure I'd want to drink it though.

There are lots of faecal coliforms in just about everything we eat (vegetables, and especially meat). The goal of the meat processing industry is to get them below an acceptable level.

Some of these coliforms are actually needed to repopulate the gut, so that food is properly digested and absorbed.

LOL, no, It was the job I was doing at the time, mainframe stylee. Something to do with insurance, as my employer put it.
