I've noticed that the price of bottled water is going up and up in the UK. I think there should be a maximum price it can be sold at!
You opinions?!

Don't you mean, "To 'Discuss Anything'. Or am I seeing things.
OT: Everything seems to be quite expensive near where I live (most expensive place to shop in Britain 2012/11 (I forgot)... woo. Tap water is fine though... bottled water tastes worse IMO.
I pay around £1.09 for flavored water, like 500-750 ml?Quote:

I'm really fussy over water.
I paid 82p for a bottle of water not so long ago, is that expensive? It was about 750ml.
Seemed reasonable anyway :P
it all depends on where you're buying the water from. anything over £1 i'd look elsewhere.
I agree with Cameron tbh, I don't think I'd pay over £1 for water obviously depending on the size of the bottle though
I only like chilled water and the cheaper water isn't chilled on my way to school each morning as I pass through Tesco. Breacon Carreg's price crept up and up by 19p in 7 days!
Why don't you buy one bottle, refill it in the night and leave it in the fridge?Quote:

it kinda depends on where i am at the time, but i don't usually buy bottled water anyway.
buy a virgin water purifier
£1.20 if i go to the corner shops...
if I go to Nisa i can get 3 for £1
At my school small bottle of water is 50p and big bottles 60p. Little bottle not worth it.
I pay 60p for a decent sized bottle in the college cafe. I'm not too fussed about paying, as long as my thirst is quenched.
I only really drink flavored water.
its 2 litres for a quid in asda if you're that parched when you're out and about
This thread made me think of @Samanfa; IM JOKINGGGG x
you can get like 2l bottles of water for 89c in tesco and it isn't cheap brands. It isn't really that expensive.

my 2 litres are chilled though and in 1 litre bottles. GGNR.
I bathe in Evian.
The reason why everything is going up such as water and especially foods (why interest rates are so high) is because the government keeps printing money. The same with applies petrol prices, petrol (crude oil) has actually fallen believe it or not but appears higher because the Bank of England/Federal Reserve keep printing money. A great deal of people like to blame the companies themselves when it's the government and the central banks.
How do you know that the UK Government is 'Printing money'?! If they really were the exchange rate would be awful! In fact the Euro is rising. It's currently 1.21 Euro to the pound!Quote:
