Ace. I just walked to Sainsbury's to restock on tea and coffee. I was vaguely thinking about getting some Earl Grey, then I found Earl Grey green tea :)

Indeed. One of the biggest scams ever, convincing people in first world countries that tap water isn't healthy.

Reminds me of last fall on a camping trip, we were walking in some backwoods trail, and came across blueberries. My "Evian" friends were reluctant to eat any. For the love of Allah...

Definitely. I've never subscribed to the mineral water ethic. It's silly, it's costly, etc. I occasionally buy a little bottle if I'm out driving or walking, and I used to buy it for friends when they came to dinner. Then I thought, sod it - it's my house, so they can have my taste in water. Which is tap water fizzed up in the sodastream :)(http://www.waitrose.com/food_drink/wfi/drinks/softdrinks/0208093.asp)

And I think I made a convert!

I read that, and I'm still not sure I get it... So you have a machine or something that makes tap water fizzy?

Re:

Yeah - more of a contraption than a machine. You screw the bottle of water in, push a button or pull a lever, and CO2 is forced into the water. It's probably less exciting than you imagine, but you can image-google for a picture :)

LOL. Well, maybe they were right - maybe some bear travels miles to specifically pee on those blueberries :D Me? Well, even if I caught that bear right in the act, I might still be tempted to feed my blueberry addiction :)

Re:

LOL I'd not heard of this bear peeing on blueberries phenomenon... ;)

Re:

Heheh - dog-pee is the general lame excuse I've heard for not eating anything wild! I just assumed that over there you probably have more bears than dogs... ;)

That was reminding me of something fly agaric related... there we go (wikipedia to the rescue :)):

LOL, is that what people think when they think of Canada? That's hilarious. I've never seen a bear, nor met anyone who has seen one... I think the odds of seeing a bear are equal, whether in Canada or Mexico.

Heheh good 'ol fly agaric. People actually now sell fly agaric containing urine on the net. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Actually, I'm joking, but somehow I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.

Yah - my friend went there last year. It's really tidy everywhere, because you're not allowed to drop litter because it attracts the bears.

LOL. Where did this friend of yours go?

Re:

Vancouver, and then the Canadian Rockies. He's a canoeist, and was mostly impressed by your cheap sportsware :) But he was also impressed by the bear-threat. He brought back some photos - it looks really cool :)

Re:

Yah the Rocky mountains are way over on the other side of the continent. :/
