Off on a slight tangent I shudder to think about the amount of damage done to the atmosphere and environment moving all the bottled water around when you can get it out of the tap. Help the earth BAN BOTTLED WATER!!

This really must be the equivalent of selling sand to the arabs.
I mean who has more rainfall than the UK?

People buy it by the gallon. I see them coming out of asda with their shopping trolleys loaded to the gills with....water :o

To a certain extent, I understand the current trend to buy bottled water. My family regularly visit London and the water from the taps there, to be honest, I could probably pee fresher.... London water leaves a terrible scum on a teacup and the state of the inside of a kettle is disgusting. Fine for washing in etc I suppose, but it must be really hard, limestone filled or whatever. Not like genteel Scots water.... ;)

They were saying of the radio today that there's a shortage of glass to make bottles out of. Prolly because people won't drink water out of pipes any more. Nor will they drink beer out of a cask :(
Actually, what happened to the glass Corona bottles that used to have a 10p deposit on them? Used to be able to spot one a mile off when I was a lad. Nice little supplement to my pocket money. Now we just chuck them away - well, re-cycle them, but what use is that when all the green glass is mixed up with the clear, etc? >:(

It's down to the amount of uses that glass can be used for these days. In days gone by, we had to pay for 'cullett' aka broken glass to be taken away to landfill. These days we get paid for it as a commodity. 30% of new glass for windows is now recycled as it melts at a lower temperature than sand and thus saves energy in the glass making process.
It can, and is, be used as an aggregate in road building and is used in a material called glassphalt. :o
It is also used as a ballast for filtration systems as well as numerous other uses. No wonder, therefore, that there is a shortage for making bottles.
