Of course, a 500ml bottle of water costs 50p in med countries, £2 in

I thought the shops at Kings Cross were expensive, but I still only
pay 95p for a bottle, or £1.20 for two bottles. Not cheap, but not a
major rip off either. However, I don't care because whenever
possible I simply refill a bottle with (cold) water from our office
water machine, or before I leave in the morning! Sod expensive
mineral water!

Doesn't anyone here ever go in a supermarket? A six pack of 500ml
mineral waters costs about £2 (supermarket own brand). Buying in bulk
reduces the price. Morrisons have an offer currently on, I think,
Volvic in 5litre bottles for about the same price - not that I'm
suggesting you take a 5l bottle to work, just refill a smaller one.


Only fools BUY water!


Next time the utility bill comes in the post you'll be reminded quite
otherwise.
