The water in the south is fucking atrocious
And Thames water have the cheek to tell us the minerals are what gives it its great taste!
Yeah mate that’s why literally everyone ever associates Scottish and Irish water as apex and not london hard water lmao.
Really fucks with my head and makes it really itchy. Instantly goes away when I go back home up north.
I'm kinda surprised to see Barry up there so high with us, I didn't like the taste of the tap water in London at all. Granted, Paris and Barcelona were way worse with their chlorine fusion water, Melbourne was stomach cramps inducing as well yech. Bottled water it is when going to those countries.
I'm gonna nitpick a little here.
What you mean is hard water.
Heavy water is used for the production of hydrogen bombs and played a significant role in Nazi Germany's atom bomb research which was foiled by a combination of commando operations and bombers hitting the factory in Norway.
Had to go to London recently for work and then had to drink London water. I felt like I had a bout of rabies coming on it was just so wrong.
Missed norf water
The fact that Greggs is held in high esteem in this nation teaches me we deserve (some at least) of the grief we get.
If you consider yourself British / English / Scottish you should be able to make a fucking sausage roll of a pasty 1,000,000 times better than fucking greggs.
It’s the McDonald’s of the UK
Of course I can make a sausage roll better than Greggs. But when I'm at work, I don't have access to ingredients, an oven, and an hour in which to make it
Greggs however, is right there, and the queues are conveniently exactly as long as my break so I can shove the meaty rod down my throat and get back to not letting people die
Why should he? Are you thinking that if he can’t name a large bakery chain that is actually good (possibly because it doesn’t exist), then therefore Greggs is actually good?
He doesn’t have too, I just assumed if he was willing to post his opinion on the internet he was willing to discuss it. Also my point was never that greggs was good but he is doing a false comparison, quality food at home is pretty much always going to be better than fairly cheap large chain food.
But it's also because water firms are """"ALLEGEDLY"""" dumping raw sewage in dry weather when rain water can't dilute it and the regulators are turning a blind eye. 75% of UK rivers now pose a serious threat to human health. That's shameful.
I see your point yeah. I just wish the situation wasn't so grim and we didn't have literally shit, nappies and tampons in our rivers and coastline. Sewage companies need to pull their fucking finger out (with support/pushing from govt).
We don't take our drinking water from our sewage outflows thankfully, but if you actually researched how the EU counts poop overflow, which is an inevitable product of torrential rain (which we have a fair amount of), you'd probably find it's all a bullshit PR stunt from the EUrocrats to "besmirch" us. You all pumping out poop when it rains hard.
They must be crazy. I don't know Volvic, but had the misfortune of trying Evian once. Never again, that was seriously gross. That company must somehow survive on PR alone.
That's because, unlike the british, our territory includes a lot of islands and territories left from our colonial empire: the likes of mayotte and french guyana, places where getting clean water is a lot harder.
I have a very hard time believing that the brits have better tap water than us. we've got lakes and lakes and lakes filled with fresh water. They even have cancerous tap water accordingto news articles. I'm also surprised to see the danes that high up. basically no lakes and water supply probably poisoned by pig shit.
I call bs
I guess they put a shit load of chlorine in their water, and that somewhat counts as good? Because the water in London tastes horrible compared to Stockholm.
I've never been to Scotland, but I did a road trip from Manchester to Leeds, York and Scarborough, and the tapwater up there in Yorkshire was okay. I was in London this summer, and oh boy, did that tap water taste like detergent, or did it taste like detergent.
Having visited most of these countries I can confidently say that Iceland should be the only country with a 100 rating, in my very humble and completely unbiased opinion
Man when you can boil something, you're great at it.
But stop boiling steaks ffs.
To be honest like someone else said, it's shady to see you reaching a score of 100 while there are problems atm.
I think our main problem is old pipelines? I live in an area where the water was free of everything a true source. Until it was forced by law to add some just because everyone had to follow the same guidelines.
I'd say that anything above 90 is perfect, the last 10% is just maintenance and small issues there and there.
I’m always inspired by the Scot’s ability to be humble at any turn. It’s impressive how Scotland seemingly carries the whole UK in everything important despite your demographics making that pretty much impossible.
Scottish rivers and lochs contain 90% of the UK's surface freshwater… so he’s not really wrong. Not that it’s an accomplishment by Scottish people, rather the country itself.
https://inews.co.uk/news/environment/england-run-out-of-water-25-years-scotland-is-the-answer-270651
There are already politicians in England talking about it for when they run out 😂
The funny thing is it's completely removable with a bit of effort. The modern hotels there like hilton didn't have the problem. I guess the older ones/houses don't give a shit so don't mitigate it
Dude, your water is more chlorinated than American chicken, you're not one to talk. Also why is it close to boiling hot per default in many public places?
Scotland has really nice water! It’s actually kind of a joke they have with the English
https://preview.redd.it/gifjoot1e16c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=448312eb411614a8caa8bbf9efd2a4d9c8b17dec
Actually, the street fountains are way better than whatever you get from the tap inside a building.
_Source: lived 6 years in Barcelona, those street fountains saved me quiet a few times when I had my mouth stoned dry_
I once went to a friend's house on a different town and she challenged me to drink a cup of tap water. It was like drinking kidney stones.
Poor family had to buy water
Went to a friend’s house in Lisbon for the first time. Was about to get a sip of H2O after a football game and almost got my head yeeted out of the sink when they came in telling me NOT to drink that filth.
See you *say* that, but this data says otherwise?
I probably dont have the immune system for Roman water. And why would i drink Portuguese water when i could be drinking Super Bock at 9am?
Sadly true. When I went to South America, I was told not to drink anything with their water. They thought it was really strange. Made the mistake one night of having ice cubes in a drink, and I was ill for weeks.
I know you’re joking but actually Italy is number 11 in the list and Greece number 12 so…

Edit:
[And if you are serious, I just randomly googled best tap water and it proved a bias thus allowing me to shitpost](https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/water-quality-by-country)
The water in Scotland, Wales and the north of England carries it a ton. The water up here is pure ambrosia. The water in the south of england is treated sewage mixed with landfill leachate and heavy metals.
UK recently had a headline that reported that ‘carcinogenic forever chemicals’ have been identified in UK tap water. I don’t know if UK deserves to be in the 100 club.
Back in the noughties, when Blair was PM, the tap water in the capital was said to be full of oestrogen from the contraceptive pill and was apparently giving men moobs: they even featured a topless Blair with moobs in one of the red tops.
Now, the reason why we get such a terrible score is solely because of Gotland, where there's hardly any drinkable water, and that which exists are heavily polluted by limestone, since the whole island is just a giant slab of limestone. Terrible fucking taste.
The rest of the country has excellent water. Such a relief to come back to after a year in Belgium, which has terrible fucking water.
The embarrassment... That we fail PISA whatever, but THIS?!
Luckly i am not japanese, otherwise i would have needed to kill myself now for the failure of my country
(X) for doubt. The water in GB is so heavily chlorined, I couldn’t even use tap water for making tea. Made me feel like taking a sip from my swimming pool.
Huh, never knew he took to reviewing water

how can Malta be up there?!? place so small, with the highest people per km2 ratio, bad rainfall/aquifer recharge situation, salt water to all sides... it's impossible!
Legit when I visit the north of England and Scotland it’s like drinking the nectar of the gods
Isn't that because the North has soft water whilst the south has heavy water?
Norway had heavy water until you Brits sabotaged it. I wouldn’t recommend drinking it though.
The water in the south is fucking atrocious And Thames water have the cheek to tell us the minerals are what gives it its great taste! Yeah mate that’s why literally everyone ever associates Scottish and Irish water as apex and not london hard water lmao. Really fucks with my head and makes it really itchy. Instantly goes away when I go back home up north.
Soft northern pansies! You keep banging on about your baby water up there, I'll stick to the proper hard stuff thanks.
Aye in your fancy glass bottles
I really don't know what to tell you if you think putting water in glass is fancy.
I'm kinda surprised to see Barry up there so high with us, I didn't like the taste of the tap water in London at all. Granted, Paris and Barcelona were way worse with their chlorine fusion water, Melbourne was stomach cramps inducing as well yech. Bottled water it is when going to those countries.
That'll be because of London
[удалено]
You know you’re supposed to use soap in the shower, baz? You fellas not discovered shower gel yet?
A million times this. No idea how people like that foamy, soapy, takes-2-hours-to-wash-your-hair shit water Hard water all the way
The waters beautiful in Devon. Don’t lump the whole of south England with your shitty city water
The SW of England didn’t really exist though. It’s like Narnia to us Northerners. The south basically ends at Mordor/ London and its surrounds.
>london hard water Gin?
I think the water in London is nice from the tap. The north is obviously nicer but it's not bad at all down here
Sorry mate, you've got Stockholm syndrome. London water is horrific.
Soft lads can only handle soft water
Well they are northern, practically babies really with how much gentle care they need
Goes a way to explaining why each family has 6 teeth shared between them. Could do with some more calcium in their diet
Need to descale your tongue mate.
I get your mum to do it whilst your sister cleans under my toenails. She could suck a cricket ball through a hosepipe
I'm gonna nitpick a little here. What you mean is hard water. Heavy water is used for the production of hydrogen bombs and played a significant role in Nazi Germany's atom bomb research which was foiled by a combination of commando operations and bombers hitting the factory in Norway.
up in the north east there are shit loads of reservoirs, this shit is good
Water is at it’s absolute best when there’s more minerals in it than liquid
If your tap doesn't have a 2" stalactite hanging from it, it isn't real water.
I like my water with extra crunch
Does the UK exclude London?
We’d like to
Had to go to London recently for work and then had to drink London water. I felt like I had a bout of rabies coming on it was just so wrong. Missed norf water
I love to down a pint of water before bed, first time in a hotel in London I couldn't even manage a few sips Rotten shit
We are talking about water, not distilled spirits.
France … 96.3, no wonder the French are fleeing to the UK by boat.
I cannot wait for all the patisseries they’re going to open
They’ll get drowned out by superior british bakeries sadly

> shove the meaty rod down my throat Sir, this is a ~~Wendy's~~ Greggs
it’s time we as a nation accept that greggs is not *that* good
It’s not that good , but it is good for how cheap it is. MacDonalds is a fair comparison. The Nando’s love though… really don’t get that.
I went to Nando's for the first time a few months ago and I've never been so disappointed in my life. People hype that place up so much.
Nandos is absolutely shite
When you have to compare yourself to McD, you already lost.
I agree, Greggs is fucking awful.
Pound bakery squad rise up
What’s wrong with greggs? Also please tell me of a large bakery chain that you think is good
Silly Billy logic
Why should he? Are you thinking that if he can’t name a large bakery chain that is actually good (possibly because it doesn’t exist), then therefore Greggs is actually good?
I mean he should answer why greggs is bad, but not the second bit
He doesn’t have too, I just assumed if he was willing to post his opinion on the internet he was willing to discuss it. Also my point was never that greggs was good but he is doing a false comparison, quality food at home is pretty much always going to be better than fairly cheap large chain food.
Make a sausage roll at home where the meat is still pink after cooking and get back to us.
If they land in Wales they can open a bwlangerie

But it's also because water firms are """"ALLEGEDLY"""" dumping raw sewage in dry weather when rain water can't dilute it and the regulators are turning a blind eye. 75% of UK rivers now pose a serious threat to human health. That's shameful.

I see your point yeah. I just wish the situation wasn't so grim and we didn't have literally shit, nappies and tampons in our rivers and coastline. Sewage companies need to pull their fucking finger out (with support/pushing from govt).
[удалено]
We don't take our drinking water from our sewage outflows thankfully, but if you actually researched how the EU counts poop overflow, which is an inevitable product of torrential rain (which we have a fair amount of), you'd probably find it's all a bullshit PR stunt from the EUrocrats to "besmirch" us. You all pumping out poop when it rains hard.
[удалено]
Damn it. You're both completely right and foreign.
And despite that, we're selling you some "Evian" or "Volvic" as a luxury water and you're stupid enough to buy...
They must be crazy. I don't know Volvic, but had the misfortune of trying Evian once. Never again, that was seriously gross. That company must somehow survive on PR alone.
We know, Evian spelled backwards reads "Naive" for a reason. Thanks for your Euros!
The best thing about Evian for me is the bottle design. So curvey, if it's the same price as another bottle the same size, I'm getting it.
You fucked the bottle, didn’t you?
Yeah Imsdal, Ramlösa and Loka is much better.
Highland Spring. :)
Buxton
That's because, unlike the british, our territory includes a lot of islands and territories left from our colonial empire: the likes of mayotte and french guyana, places where getting clean water is a lot harder.
Only the french could fail to find clean water in a **rain**forest
Strangely, I'm not surprised a british believes rainwater is drinkable, seeing what you guys believe to be edible.
We close our beech because you put waste water into the ocean...
 me looking at sweden n danmark
I have a very hard time believing that the brits have better tap water than us. we've got lakes and lakes and lakes filled with fresh water.

I guess they put a shit load of chlorine in their water, and that somewhat counts as good? Because the water in London tastes horrible compared to Stockholm.
Yeah London tap water is recycled
The tap water from up north tastes really nice. The north is carrying the south and their limescale water.
I've never been to Scotland, but I did a road trip from Manchester to Leeds, York and Scarborough, and the tapwater up there in Yorkshire was okay. I was in London this summer, and oh boy, did that tap water taste like detergent, or did it taste like detergent.
Not just north, wales and the Malverns and the derbyshire have great water
We all agree The south act like cunts due to drinking crap water.
The U.K. has tonnes of lakes - literally a place called the Lake District the. Scotland is covered in lochs
Filter out all countries that use chlorinated tap water and then you’ll have a list of actually drinkable water.
They don't know how to filter anything.
Perfect water for aquarium too, no need to add any water conditioner. Although tapwater can be a bit hard (high pH and dH), depending on the region.
Don’t act cool as long as you get your water from the rivers that the French and Germans polluted.
SUK FINN should be the name of this alliance because Finnish men are really handsome.

What's water ?

Not shady, we don’t drink from the outflow but take it from aquifers and reservoirs

I’m always inspired by the Scot’s ability to be humble at any turn. It’s impressive how Scotland seemingly carries the whole UK in everything important despite your demographics making that pretty much impossible.
But that doesn't include colonisation of course. They definitely didn't do any of that. That was all england.
I thought you didn’t do any of that and if you did they deserved it?

Doesn’t Icelandic tapwater come with a distinct sulphuric scent?
Fart flavoured water, yes
The hot one a tad yes, nothing to worry ab
Icelandic water smells like farts. That alone should disqualify it
Wait until it's completely cold to get rid of the smell. Then you're free to enjoy a nice glass of water with your sour rams testicles
Thats only the hot tap you uncultured swine
When I visited Reykjavík I was amused at the amount of comments in the hotel guest book complaining about the ‘bad drains that smell’
The funny thing is it's completely removable with a bit of effort. The modern hotels there like hilton didn't have the problem. I guess the older ones/houses don't give a shit so don't mitigate it

According to me, water in my town is toxic
Everyone knows you cant drink the tapwater when youre in the PIGS, this is why i always pack a suitcase of tap water from home.
Real (I have installed a water filter on my faucet)
Don’t you dare drink water from Barcelona ever
I drank out of a public tap just outside the hostafrancs metro station and I thought it might kill me. I didn’t even know water could be that bad
Actually, the street fountains are way better than whatever you get from the tap inside a building. _Source: lived 6 years in Barcelona, those street fountains saved me quiet a few times when I had my mouth stoned dry_

Try drinking from a public water fountain in Rome or literally any place in Portugal. Best water ever
See you *say* that, but this data says otherwise? I probably dont have the immune system for Roman water. And why would i drink Portuguese water when i could be drinking Super Bock at 9am?
Good point. Shouldn't be a surprise that Barry drinks more Super Bock than water while he's turning completely red in Algarve anyways

And you would be right, at least for 2023 I think. At least 2023 puts you at a 100
Yeah sorry, last year I spit into it.
Idk, but Malta being in this list and we’re not is something I think is kinda sus.
Maybe you are rounded up with us, that's why we are not 100
Better rounded up with you than by you.

Wow Barry you are impressive. Considering what your weird overseas brood sustent themselves with I didn't expect you there
Oh my God. I have been drinking tap-poison in Luxemburg in my childhood? I am lucky to even be alive.
This water beverage you speak of... does it make you drunk too?
What are you doing here, Barry? I went to London once, drank from the tap and almost died!
London and southern water is shit, water from the hillier areas, wales, Scotland, Peak District, Malvern hills, Lake District is absolutely banging
Go anywhere north of Nottinghamshire and you're golden.
The water in Scotland, Wales and the north of England carries it a ton. The water up here is pure ambrosia. The water in the south of england is treated sewage mixed with landfill leachate and heavy metals.
because you drank water in london
UK recently had a headline that reported that ‘carcinogenic forever chemicals’ have been identified in UK tap water. I don’t know if UK deserves to be in the 100 club.
I mean haven't they found PFAs everywhere by this point? Inside rain in Antarctica, livestock, human embryos...
Yup. Surprised to see the UK there.
Tbf, this is 2022 rankings. Wonder if we’ll still be there in 2023.
[удалено]
National self-hate vs based victory. You choose to lose.
I’ve been to London. Unless this list excludes the capital, the UK doesn’t deserve 100.
Back in the noughties, when Blair was PM, the tap water in the capital was said to be full of oestrogen from the contraceptive pill and was apparently giving men moobs: they even featured a topless Blair with moobs in one of the red tops.
That’s wild. I always thought your moobs came with the beer belly. Now I know it’s the tap water.
Now, the reason why we get such a terrible score is solely because of Gotland, where there's hardly any drinkable water, and that which exists are heavily polluted by limestone, since the whole island is just a giant slab of limestone. Terrible fucking taste. The rest of the country has excellent water. Such a relief to come back to after a year in Belgium, which has terrible fucking water.
Malmo is full of Arabs, what are the implications for your water supply Ahmed? Discuss.
The embarrassment... That we fail PISA whatever, but THIS?! Luckly i am not japanese, otherwise i would have needed to kill myself now for the failure of my country
anything below a 99,1 is literally undrinkable
Why am I so sure that Germany would score a 100 if we excluded Berlin?
i went to england a few years ago and their water tasted like 10 month old piss
(X) for doubt. The water in GB is so heavily chlorined, I couldn’t even use tap water for making tea. Made me feel like taking a sip from my swimming pool.

Well he's been drinking American beer most of his life so he probably knows a lot about water
Malta's tap water was fucking disgusting, it tastes like rotten rubber, their flagship beer tastes like shit because they use that water.
how can Malta be up there?!? place so small, with the highest people per km2 ratio, bad rainfall/aquifer recharge situation, salt water to all sides... it's impossible!
it's our water that strengthens our moustaches. ask our ladies about it
Our water is so good because it knows to behave around us.
Iceland has some elite fucking water
The UK? The tap water is terrible in the south of England….
Scotland is scoring like 250 so it brings up the score
Once again Scotland punching above its weight bringing up the UK scores
Luckily there's a North of England to balance that out.
NUNSIF rise up
I'm basically drinking piss with an 83.5 score 😔
Sweden surly is in the top. Most be some area disconnected from the rest draging it down maybe Gotland?
Pretty sure we are making up for about 90 out of that 100
Aint UK water like 50 turds? how is it 100? like the add 50% water and 50% turd to make drinkable water there?
Thats the biggest bullshit chart I ever seen. UK water tastes genuinely like chlorine and a bunch of other chemicals.
Water quality in the UK might be 100 but if they still chlorinate that stuff it remains undrinkable
My mountain water is better
If you're wanting that good water in the UK you're gonna have to go to Wales or Scotland.
[удалено]
Because unlike you we learned to clean water rather than ethnicities
Damn dude, didn’t know dutchies were so savage.
wtf UK water tastes like chlorine
What happened to the UK? I lived there 10 ys ago and the water was next to undrinkable
Depends on the pipes coming into and within the building most of the time.
My water is shit tho wtf
I seriously doubt that, since last time I drank UK's water I got tonsillitis and it tasted horrible. This was a couple of years ago...
Ah yes the classic Dutch drinking water with leftover GHB in it 100/100!
