Check this $42 bottle of water: Water for $42 per bottle. What is wrong with people!? - Gadling

Where abouts in Yorkshire?? like i said near leeds it smells like dogs breath

I drink tap water, never done me any harm

The cheaper water I would suspect is the worst in reality, because they dont spend less money on providing the water, they just pay their employee's less money in wages like every other cheap product.

We dont ship water to Africa because of many reasons I should imagine. Firstly, they probably dont have recycling centres and would have to create dumps to get rid of the plastic waste, or ship it back over. Then there will be the carbon emissions from transporting it back and forth, which harms the environment.

I dont understand why water can't be taken from the sea via piping systems and purified for 3rd world countries, surely it couldn't be that expensive for all the countries to chip in together and do it. I think there must be technology advanced enough for that.

I once wondered why someone doesn't just take over the poor countries and build an economy there but the idea didnt go down well with my religious friend. I still don't see why they don't do it though, it would provide millions of jobs, homes, welfare, wealth. In fact the only two things I can think of that could cause problems with this idea is the health problems already epidemic in those countries and the fact that every country would fight over the land. And both AIDs and Greed lack a cure.

I very rarely buy bottled water, I dont drink the amount of water your meant to intake per day because I never find time!

It's limestone filtered rain water with sheeps **** aditives. Plus, I had to the mixture two are three times a year by taking a leak on the top of Ingleborough....

Taking the pee apart, I will stop buying botted water. I will keep my water cooler as it's cost effective and my only means of chilled water in the office at this time. I'll buy a 2L bladder for the car for when I'm traveling round. I already have bladders for the rucksacks.

The technology has existed for years, it’ called desalination. Quite a few ships have desalination plants, cruise liners, submarines etc. Don’t know how costly a desalination plant would be on an extra large scale.

I’m never sure about you? I don’t whether to slap you or love you. Are you really that naive or just thick?

Don't knock it, it is good for you if its running when he collects it. I always take fresh spring water when I'm up in the Dales. That said that's up land and not down below. It's worth looking out for dead sheep and the old odd welly boot floating around....

Do you mean something along the lines of Virgin Cambodia, Microsoft Senegal…perhaps even a Northern Rock Gambia
