    Tap water and a slice of lemon. That freshens the taste up. Otherwise I drink volvic.

    I always get tap water at a restaurant. Why pay 2 quid when you get the exact same thing free!

    Back in the day they used to do something called the pepsi challenge when punters would taste 2cola's and they carefully edited to make it out that pepsi was the best. Nice glass of iced cooncil juice V evian think it would be close.

    When your buying sparkling water you are basically paying for water and carbon dioxide (process involved to create this of course). Considering the mark up on pellegrino, perrier water etc against normal water, you are basically paying for a natural occuring gas (not too dissimilar to the article posted).
