Don't call it tap water,it sounds more like a naturally occurring low calorie drink.Well worth 26p.

From my past experience of LATCC catering it should be avoided at all costs anyway.
"Can I have a Cheese and pickle white Bap please?"
"What goe's in that???"

Question

Is it not a legal requirement to supply FREE drinking water?

There is a perfectly simple solution - take your own food and drink to work, as I always do. It's far cheaper and, apparently, more reliable.

Offending machine has now been re-programmed. Plain old water no longer on offer, however it will provide half a plastic cup-full of lemon tea for 18p .

Nope, it's on the building power <G>... But they did put in water filters so the water is better for the coffee... You will find mainly controllers down there since the AF folks don't get as many breaks <G>...
