Boiled water

Large parts oc Lancashire gave been advised to boil drinking water today by United Utilities because of cryptosporidium, a parasite that sometimes gets into water.

The risk, we are told, is very small bbuf the advise is to to boil our drinking water to avoid stomach illnesses.

I am fit and healthy, and probably wouldn't succumb to illness given the very low risk.

However, as you can see, I'm not taking any chances
