    yeah when i buy water from a newsagents or any shop i think , hey why should i buy a natural resource at an over inflated price ,common sense tells me that, so what the mo * is the dealio with buying water that has so many price ranges per store ??

    why do they pretend to sell water as if there is a difference in taste or quality from different suppliers ???

    would it make my pot noodle taste better ......

    Speaking if which, £1.89 for a 750ml bottle of water my dad paid at a service station on the way up from England last week. I think he's still in shock.

    I resent it a little bit but I buy at least a couple of bottles at college, there is a place to refill them but it's on the 5th floor and the lifts are *. I know what you mean the prices are all over the place, I never know how much to get ready when paying.

    No, but you can stir it.
    I buy water by the 19 litre bottle for my water dispenser and it's cheap as *.

    Your not paying for the water (volume), your paying for the convenience of a handy sized bottle of pure healthy water.

    As a business student ive got to respect that its been one of the most profitable consumer trends in years.

    Unethical as * though.

    Kyogo. A phenomenon
    Mr Highland Spring (big factory half an hour out of the city centre heading up the M9 and beyond) lives out in the middle east, near to a local entepreneur from the Aberdeen area. His quote is "a licence to print money."

    One big scam - well marketed, but a farce.

    Scottish tap water is the best you can get imo. Why don't they sell that in bottles?
