Is your Tap Water poisonous!

[pachapapa]

France 3 will be transmitting an investigative type programme on the quality of drinking water tonite at 20:35.

[Théière]

I would be interested in a synopsis of the prog as I am not in France until Wednesday and don't have France3 iplayer .

[Chancer]

I have just left the job to sit down and watch it so will let you know.

just enough time left to make a cup of leaded tea!

[Cendrillon]

Chancer, I do hope you survive the leaded cuppa.

I would be interested to hear the outcome of this program.

I know in 17 the water has loads of calcaire which is probably not lethal but I for one try my best to drink bottled water. When I see what the local water does to the kettle, the taps, sink etc I dread to think what it does to the human body.

[Swissie]

the calcaire actually reduces the incidence of heart disease - if you have a water softener installed, they always tell you to keep the drinking tap with calcaire- as it is much better for you.

[Cendrillon]

It's not heart disease that concerns me so much as other stuff.

Swissie, I will send you a long overdue email.

[Frederick]

Now I know why in 85 why so many people have their Super U trolly's loaded up with multy packs of bottled water ! The Vendee probably also has nitrates.

Pleasa report back on the shows findings .

[Chancer]

Voila the results;

If you live in rural France your testicles will shrink and you will turn into a woman, (if you are already a woman please stop peeing out your oestregen) you will get  radiation poisoning, Altzheimers, cancer and grow two heads.

If you want to drink potable water go and live in Paris.

If you want to glow in the dark go and live in the Haute Vienne.

Interesting to see how many people in positions of responsibility did the same shoulder shrug and said "c'est comme ça" when faced with some damning prelevements.

I was shocked to see how high the residues of  medicines were in drinking water thanks to France being a nation of hypochondriacs.

You dont need a TV exposé (not) to be informed, your Mairie should by law post up the results of the prelevements, mine does but in the program many didnt.

Bobo I feel sorry for us all. Now I know why I have tits which glow in the dark and why my *alls have shrunken and my voice raised. I also glow in the dark in other places which frightens the dogs.

I live in rural France!

must remember next time I buy underpants to get a size smaller and choose something that would be compatible with suspenders

[NormanH]

Don't forget to include this information each time you invite a damoiselle to visit you wooly  [:)]

[Christine Animal]

We never drink it.  Missed it tonight, but it's on again on Saturday at 2.15 or 2.30, can't remember now!  That means Friday night doesn't it.

Here are some of the things mentioned in the programme.   http://www.leblogtvnews.com/article-poison-france-3-50477228.html

If anyone sees a video of the programme, please let us know.

Normie me old china, they seem to like the glowing bit as it is original. Illuminated penetration is an expression that has been used!!

I feel sorry for those living in the Jura. The closer to Switzerland, the worse it is. They even hum as they glow. Which explains a hell of a lot about the Swiss and their relationship with the Swazis!

[mint]

I don't want to sound disbelieving and I haven't seen the programme but ......er......when the credits came up, did it have a note on it such as "This programme is sponsored by Vittel (Badoit, Perrier, Evians, etc)?

[Swissie]

Bantu speaking from Swaziland? You've lost me Woollie... I really do wonder what the Jura has done to you to warrant this hatred and bitterness?

[LEO]

You do sound disbelieving!

Sweet, were you watching Graham Norton instead?

 

[mint]

And why do you feel the need to insult me?  Graham Norton indeed!

So, you avoid to drink tap water on the grounds it contains mineral but prefer to drink bottled mineral water?

There's a clue in the name there

[Théière]

Glad you said it [:)]

Fortunately for Chancer our bodies aren't made of copper or brass so firing up shouldn't be a problem although the odd gall/kidney stone maybe [:D]

Well said, Pierre.

What I would like to know is why do people think that because water has been purchased in bottles from a supermarket it is therefore safer than water from the tap? What is the source of their information?

To go back to the topic, how do you know that the water in your bottle isn't poisonous?

[Christine Animal]

Justement, the "source" maybe.  Can source/spring water be contaminated?

 

[Chancer]

Coming soon the follow up exposé on the contamination of bottled water..............

I am happier to drink my water that arrives through a lead pipe than surrounded by plasticisers.

I may have Alzheimers, I may be growing breasts, I may glow in the dark but thank god I dont have Alzheimers [:P]
