Kind of funny u guys talking about water

there is Lidl near me.. i will check that out..

osheyyyy

beryour:
Check out for Aldi or Lidl, they also sell 17p per bottle.

oh wow.. never knew abt their 17p water.. will check

dustydee:
Sainsbury's and Tesco also have the 17p bottled water. You may not like the taste of Sainsbury's but eventually you will get used to it within a few days. They all have their own brand but to me the taste sometimes differs.

Free tap water is better than 17p water

simbated:

I dey tell you. Maybe I'm cheap but I no buy no bottled water nothing...

Hello house my cousin sister will be joining her hubby in the UK after the covid whara. She wants to learn how to drive for two weeks but, I was contemplating with her if, learning in UK not better than learning here in Nigeria. Because I feel that if she gets to UK she will start all over instead of wasting her money to learn in Nigeria. The one she wants to start for two weeks is N20,000 for just two weeks. Please dear house any suggestions or advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

It's almost useless learning in Naija. Most of what she learns won't be useful in Uk and may even be detrimental... I would suggest getting her international license from Naija which she can use for 1 year, taking lessons in Uk and practicing on the international license if she has access to a car and insurance based on the international license.

O aye!! I canny wait tae gis mysel some smashing naija cuisines when I gie a chance tae.

O boy, you don turn Glaswegian abi lmao...

If she never driven before... 20k is not too much . If it's me I would do it so I have some understanding of how to operate a car

Ok.. thank you but, I learnt that driving lessons in UK is very expensive. She has never driven before ooo. Please do u know how much is the international license in Nigeria?

A lot of the British people drink tap water..... when you go grocery shopping , how many do you see buying water?. I dont see a lot

So I think those who drink, it's absolutely fine....

*drops torchlight*. Phewww thanks for this piece ma’am. Now I can sleep peacefully.

No, it's been a long time since when I did mine. But driving lessons in the Uk are about £25 - £30 and if she hasn't driven before, a lot of driving schools will do discounts like first 5 lessons at lower rates or 2 for 1 and so on. As for Naija driving, I personally had to unlearn many bad habits from driving many years in Naija. For a learner, it almost makes no sense to me learning to drive on the right hand side of the road for instance and coming to UK to learn to drive on the left. But others may think differently...

British people do a lot of things, that are detrimental to their health...... Do you want me to start listing them?......

Whenever i go shopping, although i have been banned (i am been accused of always buying more expensive options), I see lots of British people buying bottled water.......

Don't get me wrong, i am not saying the water is poisonous (if compared with water coming out of our taps in Nigeria).....

But ask yourself this pertinent question.... Do you have limescale in your kettle? I say no more.........

Does her husband have a full uk licence, that is 3 years +?

If he does, he can teach her more, and use driving instructors less?

Do you boil the water from asda and dont see limescale? ... this water sold is tap water oo that is just filtered and bottled . That your 17p mainly is to cover the bottle in which it is sold and admin charges

Yes i boil bottled water and it remains limescale free. ....


That report was a scandal in the industry, even Coca-Cola was involved in the scandal, way back then.....

But the bottled water industry, cleaned themselves up.......

She doesn't need an international driving licence. The regular Nigerian licence is sufficient. But then, how does she qualify for a Nigerian licence if if she can't even drive?
Best bet is for her to learn in the UK and work towards getting her driving licence here.

This type of filters are not so expensive.... another alternative is to use some form of filter ie this jug to reduce the limescale.

To give you extra sleep peacefully going forward

Madam, i know lagos is your home..... Feel free to drink British tap water, it's not an offence....... Yet........

House any offense on this ?

Driving my car with naija driving license

Insured with UK provisional license

The water industry has very strict regulations with little or no room for errors. So I personally think it's a waste of resources drinking bottled Water in the UK.

The water in London has a peculiar taste but no water treatment plant will push out water that is below set water standards knowing fully well people can sue.

The truth is, water from treatment plants pushed to taps are usually safest, they might be hard but the hardness is within certain limits (because there is a level of hardness allowed in treated water). The level isnt even bad because it gives the body calcium and magnesium. The only issue with hard water is you use more soap in washing

However bottled water usually comes with lower pH due to the treatment methods used in its production...levels that are close to acid levels and can make people ill over time

Your act is as confused as your question..... But you're the only one, confusing yourself........

If the police stops you, which driving licence would you produce?

What are the conditions attached to driving a vehicle in the uk, using a provisional licence?

Did you tell your insurer, you would be using your 9ja DL to drive?

If over a year in the UK, you cannot use an international license. .....


After all said, it's an illegal act if you're driving alone, without a UK license holder, that is legally able to teach you on the uk roads + L plates on the front + rear......

If and when caught, expect to warm the judges bench + fine + ban + vehicle seizure.........

I hesitate to drink tap water in London simply because of the leaky mains I have seen and the old piping works in buildings, which I cannot trust their integrity. It's a personal choice though.

Lol, to balance the equation maybe you should use do pH test on your next bottled water like you did a scaling test on tap water �
