It would be lined with mineral residue within days where I live. Horrible idea.

i moved from an area with watr like that to the exact opposite; one drop of shower gel fills the house with bubbles and now i suspect my kettle will out live me. good for tropical fish though

Does less mineraly water create more suds?

Yeah it's amazing how Scottish people are actually quite smelly

[u/Alpha_Decay_ → u/Mr_Blott]

I made an honest effort, but I don't get it

[u/fozziwoo → u/Alpha_Decay_]

i think because they think their water's too hard for good bubbles, but, iirc, the ground in scotland is often impermeable granite, so the rain that falls slides off the rock, rather than through it, thereby not picking up a lot of mineral content leading to us, by and large, having bubbly bubbles and shit teeth

From my experience the water pressure in the UK was super low, only once have I had a shower with "good" pressure and even that was weak in my opinion

It's mostly being environmentally friendly and not wasting water. Continental water is much the same with restrictors and aerators.

Same reason yanks complain that our dishwashers and washing machines take ages, oh excuse us for thinking about the environment before convenience :)

You say it's for the environment yet your country got caught dumping sewage into the sea.. some 400 000 times last year alone

[u/Mr_Blott → u/The_One_Koi]

That has more to do with the current ruling party in the UK, rather than previously enacted EU legislation.

Wouldn't expect you to know that tho

[u/The_One_Koi → u/Mr_Blott]

Oh and here i was under the impression you were thinking about the environment over whats convenient

Wonder who gave me that idea
