Inspired by possibly the most tenuously linked advert I've ever seen on my train on the way home "IS YOUR COMMUTE HARD?? We can help soften your water" (I may have got the exact wording wrong, but it was pretty much that)
Anyway, I grew up in a hard water area, and have lived in one all my life. That's what water should taste like, as far as I'm concerned. I remember a holiday to Devon as a small child, where my Mum couldn't work out how to give me drinks, as I refused to drink the water, and therefore any squashes; she refused to give me fizzy drinks; and I was allergic to milk. My brother helpfully tried to solve the quandary by pushing me into the sea in the hope I'd swallow some, but that wasn't helpful.
Anyway, I know all you soft water types will point out the lack of limescale in your kettles, and the lather you get in the shower, but, truthfully, you know hard water tastes nicer, right?
