I knew it.

I always told my boy not to waste his money on bottled water when he could take some with him from out of our tap....as I have always done.:)

Seems I was right. :rolleyes:

"It echoes one of the best-loved episodes of the BBC’s Only Fools and Horses, featuring David Jason as the entrepreneurial Del Boy, of Trotters Independent Traders."

Amazing.

The irony is that my wife refuses to drink tapwater here so we have to buy bottled water...:laugher:

[gWaPito]

I drink the water from the tap at my house in Phils..... I wouldn't waste my money on bottled water, although my baby son gets bottled, but that is only a few peso from the water station down the road.

[grahamw48]

I did also...for years in Angeles City (not in Manila), as did the rest of the family.

Never had a bad tum in all that time. :)

My son was breast fed until 2 years old though, and given boiled water if needed.

I get my water from a deep bore hole Rhose, so it comes up pre-filtered. Anywhere else, I will drink from bottles. Where are you in Phils ?
