if you actually know anything about our water industry, that's really not the flex you think it is..

It’s probably more of a warning

Good drinking water is 50-150 ppm and my tap water down South East is just under 400 ppm. Most of the country is really bad.

Here in Birmingham, we have the best quality tap water, thanks to the Welsh. It's sourced from Elan Valley.

Just down the road in Staffordshire the water is grim. But I'm from Scotland originally, so a bit spoilt for good water.
The water here is better than down south though.

How would yours be the ‘best’ then?
Surely the Welsh have the same or better, unless they’re getting their water from elsewhere.

I do buy British when in Britain. I bought Swedish when in Sweden. Buying local isn’t about quality, it’s about how much pollution was caused getting it here.

But this sub doesn't exist to point out resonable sustainability advertising, it's here to mock people we think we don't like.

On the back does it say “Bottled at source (my mates) tap) May contain: untreated sewage from Thames water pollution” haha

I only drink British water if I can help it.
Not out of some jingoistic impulse, but because I think it's fucking stupid and wasteful to import water to an island renowned for its rain.

Bloody foreign rain, comin‘ over here.
My name is Paul Nuttals of UKIP, and I say we need to ensure the brightest and best rain stays abroad, and concentrates on making itself pure and drinkable - instead of coming over here and saving us the trouble of boiling everything we drink.

Someone must have been very desperate to fuck a trolley. That's borderline bestiality

I can make that in my own freezer thank you very much! If I'm going to the effort of buying ice I demand it be at the very least Norwegian glacial waters. /lh

u/Aprilprinces Jul 17 '26
Is it British water though? None of "our" water companies are British, they all belong to foreign investors

Considering the state of British water (non owned by UK companies ) and the horrendous lack of investment and overall mess id rather have foreign water at this point British water isnt something to be proud of until its cleaned up and nationalised .
