It seems we now consume some 2 billion litres of bottled water a year - around 40 litres each on average.  And we pay something like £2 a litre for the privilege.  Can you imagine anything more stupid, when you can just turn on the tap and get water for free?  Well, not exactly free, but for a fraction of a penny a litre.  It's a shining example of the triumph of advertising over common sense.
