Raw Water anybody?

[Macca]

I suppose some of it goes to make the commercial in the first place.

Or why the folk filming don't lend a hand

And what were they drinking?

And what were they drinking?

Beer in all probability.

[montesquieu]

I remember filling some empty water bottles from a stream most of the way up a mountain in Wales, then drinking from them later. The kids (about 8 and 10 at the time) were horrified and wouldn't touch it. Water not from the tap and stuffed with smelly chemicals = unhealthy.

Beer in all probability.

If there were any female crew they would more likely to be having a fruit-based beverage. Otherwise, agree.

I always wonder why they don't just move closer to the well.

Can't afford the council tax

I'd only do that if I was desperate. How do you know there wasn't a rotting goat carcass or something equally dodgy in the water further upstream?

That's what sanitabs are for. Best to boil it up and make tea. Drinking it raw is a bit risky, goat carcass or not.

Goat's Head Soup! As kids we would often drink from streams, and after a day making a dam, go home for tea, never washed our hands, and somehow survived. I could be wrong but I do think a bit of muck is probably healthier than having everything sanitised as it seems to be for kids these days

There are lethal amoeba in untreated fresh water.
