Am posting this thread anonymously in the hope of getting some non-juvenile answers (you know who you are). Has anyone actually had their insides cleaned via the medium of caffeinated water? How’d that work out for you? Is that even what happens? There are also many supposed benefits of having it done, so d...

Every few weeks there is an article somewhere about London running out of water and how water restrictions may well be put into place in the future. Having just moved into a new flat with an obscenely large shower head that pours out as much water per minute as the Niagara Falls, I have been looking around trying...

I was outdoors watering the garden this evening and my mind began to wander. I was thinking it won’t be long before my local water board imposes a hose pipe ban despite the fact that they have only just lifted the last one. Nothing gets up my nose more than when I’m told by ‘them’ not to do something that I see no r...

In all of the houses I’ve lived in between SW and SW12 over the last few years have had something orange in the water. It’s not obvious if you were to stare into a glass of tap water, but some of my pot plants are growing a distinct orange tinge (especially the cacti) and the bathroom requires a good ...

As the Green Party try to convince Londoners to follow NY’s lead and stop drinking bottled water, and demand tap water at restaurants, what are FCLers’ views? (a) Quite right – they waste too many resources by being shipped in from all over the world – not to mention the production of the ...

As a follow-up to my previous thread, I thought it might be a good idea for people to put in their experiences, good or bad, of asking for tap water in restaurants. So – perhaps Restaurant Name and postcode, if poss, reaction from staff when asked for tap water, taste of water (if you got some!), general se...

With water watchdog Ofwat (try saying that three times fast) set to fine Thames Water £12m for “inadequate” reporting and customer service we found ourselves wondering which other organisations should be fined for letting Londoners down. We at Fridaycities would like to see the Metro fined at least £1...

There is a massive leak from within our property (not IN the house as far as we know) that has been non-stop for over a week. Where the water is not collecting around the house itself it is flowing out into the street from holes in the brickwork and exit points. According to Thames Water, as the leak is within t...

The water tanks in our building need to be replaced. It’s a big job with an equally big price tag. The management company has given us 30 days to suggest a decent contractor to do the work. 25 of those days have already passed. We don’t want to just default and go with who they suggest. Anyone know o...

Three days this week, the entire King’s Cross area has been even more chaotic than normal – I mean chocca-block, log-jam, stand-still congestathons. It’s so bad that traffic trying to go westbound down the Euston Road is backing all the way up through Caledonian Road and York Way. And to make...
