Reverting to the way the Yoof of Today is brought up - I had to explain to a group of teenage lads how you could tell if wild strawberries were ripe, yesterday, when I was watering the community fruit garden in the park. One of them said he'd sue me if they made him ill... but on the plus side, he did say they tasted nice...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Our tap water comes from the Lea Valley and has been recycled through millions of Londoners several times but as I pays for it, I drinks it. Pigeons do annoy me though, they're so stupid.
I think that is a bit of a myth, the tap water mainly comes from reservoirs and boreholes, and the drains mainly outflow into the thames, which then goes into the sea, not back into the reservoirs!
