This is a great find - I would be really interested in finding out the status of my tap water, when I first moved into my Flat, it was yellowish colour with a horrible odour to it it seems fine now, but I still buy bottled water to be safe.
You might be hard pressed to find bottled water now (in these uncertain times) but if you think it is bad from the tap you could boil it to be sure it is ok to drink?
tumblespots yes it's mad how much stock keeps going so quickly in my local supermarket I'm struggling to feed my family right now it's such a scary time for everyone. Yes I will only use the tap water if it's for boiling the kettle or boiling veg on the cooker. Thankyou for your advice
