Not that I have, or would ever drink from the cold water tap in the bathroom, it's just that having heard it said on several occasions, I wondered why. Now I understand about the cold water tank in the loft, as the top is open and could collect all sorts of rubbish. Thanks again. Schutz.
I have been known to drink from the cold tap of the bathroom - when I've been on the booze the night before and have woken with one of those raging thirsts but you just cannot be arsed to walk downstairs. It doesn't taste the same, and is never as cold - but when I have that raging hangover thirst - I think I would drink almost anything.
Thank you Ethel for clearing that up. My house was built in 1951, and definitely has a cold water tank in the loft, and a separate hot water tank in the top part of the airing cupboard. What a great site this is, where so many people are concerned enough to reply. Sometimes, even when the question sounds a bit daft, you can always be sure of getting most helpful answers. Keep up the good work.
Cheers. Schutz.
