If there were a real Fountain of Youth, would you drink the water?
No. One should drink bottled water in foreign climes, or risk the two bob bits.

You’re having a nightmare, and have to choose between three doors. Pick one, and tell us about what you find on the other side.

What’s your ideal Saturday morning?
Filling up plastic bottles with our good Manchester tap water.
Are you doing those things this morning?
No.
Why not?
It’s Sunday.

Write a letter to your mom. Tell her something you’ve always wanted to say, but haven’t been able to.
Dear Mum,
I hope you are comfortable as a pile of ash in a wooden box in the ground in Widnes.
I told you not to drink the water.
Love, Tilly x

What is your worst quality?
Using my dead mother as a comedy prop.
*
Tell us about a time when you had to choose between two options, and you picked the unpopular choice.
I could have chosen not to use my beloved dead mother as a comedy prop for a WordPress prompt post, but I just couldn’t help myself.
I am my dead father’s daughter.

If you were asked to spend a year living in a different location, where would you choose?
In the States, under an assumed name after I was hounded out of Britain by outraged mothers who mistook my affectionate ribbing of my mother for a disrespectful poke.
Why the States?
They sell bottled water.

Tilly, ack! my bottled water went up my nose when I laughed out loud about your Mother!

NO NO NO. Boil it if you must, in Africa or Asia, but water and plastic bottles are what’s doing in the environment. Millennia will pass before the bottles degrade, be, sides all the CO2 produced by the making of the plastic and the bottling process not to mention the transport issues.

As for the dead mother jokes, I admire your bravery, My dear departed mother made it clear that she would come back to haunt me if I ever made fun of her. She scared me enough when she was alive.

Ramlösa, the Swedish spring water (now owned by Carlsberg) give away the same amount of water as they sell to Africa – last year 60 million liter of water to those that don’t have fresh water.
