I’ve heard that it’s better up in the borders than down here. Is it something that just seems to get better the further north you go in England?
Amusingly I’m having the opposite problem.
I moved to Scotland from down south near Portsmouth years ago and I’m still not used to the water up here.
Not having a full stick of chalk dissolved in the water anymore just tastes wrong.
It’s *too damn clean*
In Scotland we get told not to drink English water it’ll make you ill
And that’s £60 a month, to make it worse.
When I was living in Austria, where the tap water is literally mineral water from mountains, I visited Scotland where people told me they have the best water in the world. They don’t!
Moving from Newcastle to Lincoln was the same. There is limescale on everything now, wasn’t a problem in Newcastle.
*laughs in Yorkshire*
It’s an acquired taste
I know this will ruffle so.e feathers but I legitimately can’t taste the difference. It’s all water to me.
Come to Birmingham. We steal our tap water from Wales
There is no English tap water. It’s really different depending where you go.
Ye and from us Soft water tastes crap
I feel like it just depends where you are rather than a whole area having better water. I’m south atm but my water is way better than when I was in Manchester area. However neither compare to living in the Yorkshire Dales.
Sends note back
“Your weather is shitter”
Back to Scortland with ye
it’s not better or worse it just tastes different
It tastes like water.
People are weird.
As someone who lives in Yorkshire, i can agree that the further South you go the worse the water tastes
Welsh tap water in mid-Wales is so good, I’ll take it home when I go back to Oxford.
Of course, it’s spring water, but…
Hasn’t tasted the filth in Scotland then? Its far worse.
And nothing is worse than tap water in Florida.
Moving from hemel Hempstead to Plymouth has been Great, never had to deacale a kettle in the whole decade I’ve been here
Only in the south lol. They’ve given themselves great public transport but still can’t figure out how to get clean water
