writes Last year our mate Ken made lots of noises about requiring TfL to get on with cooling the tube, etc. It all seems to have gone quiet - anyone know whether any progress has been made? Only mention I've seen recently on the posters about carrying water in hot weather refers to "new technologies" for cooling the tube. Maybe they are looking into geothermal heat pumps... -- Kat Me, Ambivalent? Well, yes and no. |

"Jack Taylor" wrote in message . .. there is nothing in law to stop anyone charging for tap water in their own establishment I've been informed that the difference between a pub and an inn is that inns are legally obliged to give free water. This sounds like an urban myth to me. I suspect you might be right abouth the urban myth bit. An Inn is supposed to provide accommodation at any time of the day or night; historically at least. Most of us can imagine the reaction is someone knocked on a pub door at 2 in the morning demanding a bed and stablng. |

I've often asked for, and got, a jug of water in London restaurants. I've not been refused yet, though I have to be quick before someone in the group pipes up for 'mineral water, please'. I have noticed the waiters seem *really* slow with requests for tap water and fairly fast with everything else. Well, there goes their tip... -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |

Good Lord, woman, complaining that the free stuff doesn't come quickly enough? -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |

Last summer we had crates of bottled water on the station for emergency use. Unfortunately when we thought we might need it a week or so ago, it was all past its Sell-By date. Eh? how can water have a sell-by date. It's water, it doesn't go off. Presumably it had a serving suggestion too |

Im sure around July/August when it gets really hot the idea will spring up again. London Underground want people to carry water with them incase a train breaks down and due to their pure inefficency and passing the buck it takes them two hours to move the train to somewhere people can get off. Here is an idea and far cheaper than handing out water to people. Fit all deep level trains with water in sealed bottles for use in emergencies such as trains being stuck underground during the summer. |
