The water in Greece is perfectly safe; it can be drunk from the tap.
The same is not true in Turkey. In Istanbul, even the natives drink
bottled water.

As Alexander Arankis said in the missive you just responded to:

"The water in Greece is perfectly safe; it can be drunk from the tap."

This is not the place to enter into a discussion about the rights (without
responsibilitues?) of animals.

But if a little girl's cat had been murdered in our street, then I shall not
be as upset or concerned as if it had been the little girl herself who was
murdered.

It may have been a response to something before that. The body's
response to bacterial infection of the gut can be delayed up to 72
hours. However, I would suggest that your husband avoid taking blood
pressure pills on an empty stomach, seeing as they tend to relax the
bowel.

It isn't just bacteria that causes the potential problems - sudden changes
in your mineral intake in water can make you poorly.
