Subject: RE: BS: Bottled water versus Tap water
Here's a new twist...

I was in a Chinese restaurant last night which was so obviously getting its profits from the bar - a bottle of Kumala Chardonnay (priced at less than £5.50 a bottle in most shops) was on sale for £14.80. Anyhoo... I decided I'd stick with water which is when I found on the menu, a little note saying that the restaurant did not serve tap water*. I could buy a glass of "purified water" for 50p or a large jug of it for £1.50. I chose to have a jug of water and watched as the barman filled a jug FROM THE TAP OVER THE SINK behind the bar.

Talk about a bloody cheek!
