Live Aid on Beeb 2

[jack123]

Apologies, I did see it but was out all day yesterday so didn’t answer you. I have seen him before but don’t really follow him much. Misty Ricardo is my favourite, take a look at him and his YouTube channel.

Nice one, I’ll check him out.

I’m just hoping now, if I’m at a quiz night, there’s a question asking which was the first song played on Live Aid, why that’s easy. Status Quo Rocking All Over The World

Thanks. Sounds like another load of bollox to me.
I’ve been drinking tap water for years and there’s noth8ng wrong with me.

I'd seek a referral on that if I was you

After reading this article here from the BBC, about PFAS and contamination, don’t think I’ll be drinking tap water anytime soon.

Is filtered water healthier than tap water?

Table-top filters can remove contaminants from tap water – but are they really necessary, and could they cause unintentional harm?

Down in Swansea the water is naturally soft and if I still lived there I don't think I'd worry about filtering it. However, where I live the tap water is very hard. Unfiltered tap water leaves heavy scaling on taps, kettles and shower screens, and who knows what it does to the innards of the washing machine.

So I got a water softener system installed and within a.week or so all the timescale deposits were gone.

But the main reason I did it was to try and help my skin. I suffer from eczema and I swear blind that after a couple of months use my condition, whilst not gone, is immeasurably better. There is some evidence that this is true, and my dermatologist does agree.

I think the softened water tastes better, but you can't put it on your plants as due to it's ever so slight salinity (undetectable on the old taste buds) it will knacker them.

Similar has been said about bottle water over the years, the taste is far better after I fitted the first one on my kitchen sink supply I fitted another one to my bathroom sink filtered water to brush your teeth with and to drink if you got to take medication last thing at night and or in morning.

Is your bathroom cold water off the main NJ or from the tank in the loft? Tanked water is deemed non potable but I don't know whether a filter changes that? (Genuine question btw, I have tanked water in my bathroom)

Never knew that. And there was I thinking it’s ok, I don’t drink tap water, just bottled.

“In the UK, water undergoes multiple filtration rounds followed by ultraviolet disinfection and chlorination before reaching consumers' taps. The country was ranked joint first for drinking water quality and sanitation in Yale University's 2022”

That’ll do for me, I drink litres of the stuff everyday

I’m not sure how water can “taste better” regardless of what you do to it. It’s literally tasteless.

Seriously, down here in that there London the difference between tap and filtered water is really obvious

Mains water to cold water taps etc, the cold feed to cylinder to facilitate hot water used to be tank fed until I upgraded the system shortly after we moved in.

You'd have to taste filtered water to realise the difference in taste.

I spend a lot of time in the smoke, can’t say I’ve ever noticed. Water is tasteless so any perceived difference will be mostly psychological.

Water is tasteless. It has no taste.
