Sammy Wilson's right. I wouldn't be too happy paying water rates if tap water wasn't drinkable. It was my only comfort during the past two days of vomiting and diarrhoea and I have nothing but praise for the stuff.
Besides, bottled water is for ponces. It's drunk by the sort of people who read the Ulster Tatler but are never in it, or the sort of people who live in Lisburn but hang around in Belfast and want to look cosmopolitan.
