Maybe it's chlorinated boiling water? :)

That comes out of the tap here;)

No that's Fluorine you fool :D

It has a distinctive smell, keeps your nose from getting too near the cup of tea you've just made, thereby preventing you chipping your front teeth . . . or something like that ;)

I though our water supply came from the swimming baths.

You forgot the bit before they got their throats slit, where they are grown in tiny cages one on top of the other, raining waste on the chicken below.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Is this a common practice in the UK, or are you referring to the USA?

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

There's a Dispatches programme on Four OD called The Truth About Chlorinated Chicken that is highly enlightening, in part it goes into how they lobby government to turn a blind eye to the amount of deaths the US endure each year due to food poisoning due to hygiene, cross contamination and all round general wretched conditions, how they pay through the nose to avoid standards that would prevent the rediculously high number of amputations workers suffer due to insufficient training and being over worked and how if we let them in here how the only option our own producer's would have to compete with the price would be to lower our standards to a similar level and don't think the custoner would get the right to choose as thanks again to the lobbying any trade deal we agree will have in it that they don't have to lable it. Anyone who thinks this is as simple as dunking a chicken in a bucket of chlorine wash is very much mistaken.

Re: Britain outside the EU
 

Exactly.

Whilst the preparation of chickens in a factory setting may be much the same (boiling then plucking if not free range). The before and after comparisons between the UK & the US are vast.

There is Chlorine in tap water, but not at harmful levels obviously, just like your salad and soon to be chicken.

It does and that's why I have to top it up every day in the Jacuzzi but I'd still have to be pretty thirsty before I drank the water!

If Hydrogen is flammable, and Oxygen is an accelerant and oxidizer . . .


. . . why won't water burn? :p:
