    Yes, no. At home we have a water purification system and at the dorms I buy bottled water.

      That's not true, there's lots of stuff in there.

        In Manchester water has:

        10.6 ppb of lead
        0.035 ppm of copper
        1 ppm of fluoride
        0.5 ppm of chlorine
        etc

          The mystery as to where Doddler got his intelligence has been finally solved...
          Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

            Is that Manchester, NH? BEcause it's certainly not in Yorkshire

              It's from a .gov.uk site, so I'm presuming it's the UK one...

                  Doddler is trying to point out in his own retarded way (a symptom of lead poisoning) that Manchester is not in Yorkshire where he now resides. Leeds I think.

                  However, seeing as he spent all his formative years drinking Mancunian (Mancy? ) water, which is the time lead poisoning affects you most - I'd say the damage is already done!

                  In fact judging by some of his posts today...

                    Lead: Manchester: 0.0106ppm; Calgary: 0.0005ppm (21x higher in Manchester)

                        The tap water here is very definitely not drinkable (and we don't depend on the government supply anyway, which is erratic - my landlord has his own bore-well, which is our normal source (IIRC)), and I'd me crazy mad to drink it.

                        I use a purifier.

                              Well, I am googling for it. I haven't found the hard numbers yet, but I found this...

                                the site I work at now in the hills has its own well and water purification system and the water tastes fresh and is limescale free

                                will bottle some and get someone to do a taste test vs london tap filtered water
