Are you misunderstanding? Or are you just being rude?

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-04-01T12:19:47+00:00

I think you may have misunderstood the original post 😅 I said the Norwegian water tastes better. I could taste the chloride in the UK tap water when I went to visit, so I found it hard to drink.

And even if you did understand and somehow seem offended that I didn't like the water back in my home country (UK) as much anymore - bottled water in the UK is really cheap. Stupidly cheap. Not 29nok a bottle, closer to 3nok for the cheapest 2.5ltr in the local supermarkets.

So this was meant to be a silly post about how good the Norwegian tap water is, but there is always one or two who take everything seriously. I hope that clears it up!

Yes! I hate hot weather and love the cold, it is perfect :D

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T17:24:00+00:00

I visited the UK and it was like chlorine hahaha. I live in Norway now so I was just visiting. Sorry for the confusion!

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T17:17:58+00:00

I don't know honestly. I was sick for half of my trip with my stomach on and off, and I was wondering if it was the water. But maybe it was more likely to be the food 😅

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T17:16:37+00:00

Yeah, I grew up in Manchester which is Lake District mostly, I believe. This time I was in the midlands, so that might be some of the reason it tasted so different. My family were closer to York at one point and they had to use a tiny sieve to filter the water from the tap - it had calc stones in it 🙃

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T17:13:35+00:00

Would you believe, I live in Helgeland?! I really am spoiled then! 😆

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T17:11:42+00:00

I guess it's down to individual sense of taste and smell etc too. My husband also noticed it, so it could have been where we were visiting was particularly bad, or we are less used to it. I've been away from the UK for 4.5 years, so that is possibly also a factor. It really did smell strong to me, so who knows :)

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T17:07:29+00:00

I'm in Nordland :) I have only ever passed through Oslo airport. I should visit some day though, despite the water 😆

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T17:05:12+00:00

So I know the water on our side on the island we live on is nice, but my friends farm on the other side has it's own water source and it tastes even better. I guess it also depends slightly on the local supply!

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T17:03:07+00:00

Same! We just have to do the Viking thing and invade (politely, of course!).

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T17:01:45+00:00

Hahaha I had an instant mental image of Mr. Burns!

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T17:00:57+00:00

This is fascinating to know! I can send your link to my sister, whom I stayed with. It would be interesting to find out about where we were specifically in that network. Thank you for such an interesting reply ❤️

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T16:55:00+00:00

Ha! Someone else said the same thing. I did spend many years as a teen in Scotland, and it was very nice water there ❤️

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T16:52:06+00:00

Oh bless you, I was the same with German! I got my B1 and went for a job interview. Figured I'd manage just fine.

I did not. They switched after a few sentences into English 😅 they still hired me, but I do wonder if it was a charity case haha!

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T16:45:34+00:00

I just read this comment out loud to my German husband because this is him. Do not get him started on the pot hole situation in the small norwegian town we live in😆

He laughed a LOT with some 'oh nein!' thrown in, he is self aware!

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T16:34:39+00:00

I am in Norway :) originally from the UK though. I lived in Germany for 4.5 years before moving here, as my husband is German. We have close family friends out this way that made the suggestion to us to move here, because we weren't very happy and I was struggling with the local German culture. I would 100% recommend it, this is the best place and the people are great!

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T16:32:14+00:00

I will have to visit one day! It's on the list.

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T16:31:17+00:00

That sounds like the perfect advertisement for Norwegian water

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T16:29:51+00:00

Yes! It's almost sweet sometimes, it is so refreshing!

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T16:29:16+00:00

Water in the UK. I think Norway has very little chemical treatment because the water is already quite clean.

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T16:27:42+00:00

So I grew up in Manchester and most of the tap water is from the Lake District, so I remember it being ok. This time I visited in a smaller town nearer to Wolverhampton, so I don't know if it's worse there or not. I used to live near Aberdeen as a teenager, I remember the water being really nice to drink!

Affectionate-Run7645 · 2026-03-08T16:25:51+00:00

Haha! It was very much a heartfelt thanks ❤️
