      <description><![CDATA[As a child I lived at Caterham and the water there was really nice to drink.  When I visited my gran in the Boro, I could not bear the taste of the water, and at my aunt's in Streatham, the taste was the same.  Later I got used to the taste, mainly after I started work in Blackfriars.  Remember David who longed for the taste of the water in his home town.]]></description>

Hi Debrajoan, I guess you missed what Davies wanted to say. Years ago - even in my country - the milkman used to collect the used bottles. They were cleaned with boiling water and re-used. Nowadays they recycle it while they melt the glas. This procedure is much more expensive, but in the other hand the hygiene is better (should be..).<br />
For sure it would be better to use glas then plastic!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Bottled water in glass bottles is the best tasting, if you can find it, it also tend to be jolly pricy.<br />
<br />
However, it doesn't taste of plastic or chlorine and is the clear winner in my experience.<br />
<br />
Pity no one recycles glass bottles any more like we used to do with milk bottles with the foil lids.<br />
<br />
Bring back the milkman with a side order of tasty water bottled in glass!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[And dont forget that bottled water in plastic bottles not only absorbs chemicals from the plastic (esp if exposed to sunlight for any length of time) and is really bad for the environment (I am led to believe).]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I once did a blind tasting of water including London tap, tap water from another area and several major brands of water with a group of friends.  The London Tap water was a clear winner I think because of it's very neutral, some of the bottled mineral water has quite a strong flavour from the minerals dissolved in it.<br />
<br />
Ok this was some years a go and it wasn't very scientific but what i would say is try it first you might like it.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[As longlaner said, definitely safe to drink, but if you don't like the taste you can buy a Brita filter jug from Tesco, etc. which takes away some of the tap water taste and makes it taste more like bottled water.]]></description>
