Hi Paul and all others ,
we have here (Venezia) the water from the same source they sell in bottles (plastic for "normal people , glass for fancy restaurants) but as you wrote , if people dont trust, they dont trust.
And we have the know-it-all's . I give so many indications to them before they come, the maximum
of the (negative) reactions are "too much to foillow " , "we know " and so on .
And we've another big problem:
those "know-it-all's" are "sensitive as the nipples of of a nun" (Venetian saying) , if you tell them something they dont want to hear , the call you a "Bully". For example : energy-prices are very high in european countries , therefore people not only think of using AC's (with open windows seems a US-traditioin)
and washer (all day ! They must be very stinky ?), there is even a kilowatt-limit in Italy which will blow
the fuses when switch on all you have.....
So, the problem is not done increasing the prices.
