Stop drinking botteld waters!

...they're bad for the environment. As Bob Geldof said in his imitable way:
"Bottled water is bollocks. It is the great irony of the 21st century that the most basic things in the supermarket, such as water and bread, are among the most expensive. Getting water from the other side of the world and transporting it to sell here is ridiculous. It is all to do with lifestyle."

I have always maintained that for the most part still bottled waters are daft and that the only water worth bottling for most of us in the west would be the carbonated varieties otherwise the tap is your best bet [though staying in Hertfordshire nearly had me eating -sorry- drinking my words; truly horrible tap water].
Anyway, read the article and give up bottled water. You know it makes sense.

"Spend and tax" not "tax and spend"

 I got a response from my MP which got me kind of mad. You'll see why as I reproduce it here. Apologies for the strange changes in types...
