Which is better?

[classic33]

When it comes to clean dirt off, hard or soft water?

Soft, you get a better lather, from the soap.

 

[Colin_P]

Soft as it doesn't leave any residue / white marks.

Very hard water here and you cannot not dry anything off when washed.

Whilst NW England does exactly have hard water it isn't as soft as the stuff up in Scotland. One of the many reasons I'm happy to be home

 

[Drago]

Hard of course. Just like me

 

[arch684]

I like the water up here in Scotland so much i drink it every day

 

[Markymark]

As hard as @Drago watching Countdown repeats.

 

[Hugh Manatee]

Hard water makes for better beer.

 

[Bobby Mhor]

'Wet' water for me...

 

[MichaelW2]

For cleaning bikes, it has to be light water. Heavy water is just so much of a drag.

I used to prefer heavy water, but got fed up with Kirk Douglas attacking my house every time I filled a bucket.

The heroes of Telemark if I recall?

Back to normal water, not the radioactive stuff, there is a huge irony;

The further North you go the more the menfolk blab on about being hard and use the term Southern softies when in reality the South has the hardest of the hard water and the further North you go the softer it gets.

As for beer, Southern hard water makes a better pint.

However there is the mythical statistic that if you live along the route of the Thames that the water has "passed" through seven people already before you if you live in London. I'm lucky as I live upstream a bit and it has probably only been through four.

I once had to* try and explain heavy water to some free energy conspiracy nutjob. He seemed to know all about this amazing perpetual motion technology that the government was somehow suppressing, but couldn't wrap his head around the concept of heavy water being named heavy water because it's water which is, you know, heavy. Too simple and literal for him I guess.





*OK, I didn't have to.

On a cookery programme I saw a woman wash her strawberries in Evian rather than tap water ..
I think she was batshit bonkers myself ..

Thames Water say three.
