When one's supply is only from the sky and we live in a very clean, non polluted area, at least the water we DO have, tastes great. Dunedin's is horrid by comparison and when I was in hospital for 10 days last year, I had Roger bring me in a litre each day. We do have enough for the house it's only because I insist on puring water onto the primulas, cassiopes and such, that we run out in the summer.
There is a surprising a,unt of new house building around us, even though the council has made it plain there will be no water provided as a regular town supply.
Also when in hospital, the relative of a friend (he was a lawyer) kept insisting that he needed to see "The Gordon File." The nurseres kept on refusing to allow him to work while not well. Eventually his brother brought the file in and it was found to be a box cotaining a bottle of gin and the necessary glasses.
