I guess luxury is in the eye of the beholder. If you have enough money, what some would call a luxury you can call a need.

Soda stream £55

Water filter £18

£73 all in, lets say it lasts a year without having to buy any replacements. 1 liter drank a day, 8.5p = about £31 for a year, probably take 3/4 years for the filter and soda stream to save you money but surely it's worth it not to have so much plastic bottle wastage and general annoyance having to buy them so often?

I haven't noticed any shortages because of Brexit.
But I have paid £130 in export duty on a drum kit form Germany. Had I bought it before Brexit it would have cost the same and there wouldn't have been any duty- so that's annoying.

still 17p for 2 ltrs is less faf on than fitting all that stuff.

I only buy water now if I want to replace my bottle.

I hope you're recycling all those bottles!!

@badradger said
we recycle everything

@ghost-of-a-duke said
Even your cycles?

@badradger said
when my static cycle is ready to recycle I will take the cycle to the recycling plant myself on my new cycle.

@trev33 said
Is it actually being recycled though?
