General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

All my life I have drunk water straight from the tap and will continue to do so today, although I will boil it first. (I am in one of the affected areas). Can't understand why people are panic buying bottled water, by the trolley load in Tesco this morning, are they having a bath in the stuff. And I had to smile when the advice given from United Utilies is to make sure you let the water, after you have boiled it, cool so that you don't get burned. Are there people out there stuped enough to drink boiling water!!!!!!
