never say never, but I stopped them at 200 as they were taking so much of my time and fewer and fewer people were downloading them.

True if you a Britta or similar - they remove little. But a ZeroWater filter removes everything. The downside is that the filters are pricier and you need to remineralise the water. I use the mineral set from Apax Labs.
If you must use bottled, apparently Volvic is one of the better for coffee.

It depends on the brand of water. Many have too much mineral content. And the plastic.
Just buy a filter jug. The one by ZeroWater makes great tasting coffee.

OK, this is going to the last in the series - at least for now.
I've been making these for 4 years now and it's becoming more and more of a chore than something enjoyable.
I might post them periodically as the whim takes me, so you might see more in the future.

It sounds perfectly fine to me (and doesn’t feel like an Americanism). I’m fairly sure that’s because I grew up hearing it in Lincolnshire.

It’s definitely still used here.

I was already using the News feed, but I don’t find it particularly useful - and it’s often late to the party.
It’s often the individual journalists and commentators that are first to break things and those tend not to be on the News feed.

Same issue. Checked Twitter a few days ago and saw S Korea trending. Not a peep here, so thought I'd better follow more news outlets & journos.
Since then, that's all that comes up in my feed despite being a tiny fraction of the accounts that I follow, presumably because they have more followers.
