I honestly never thought I needed a water filter in my life, let alone that I'd grow to find it indispensible but in the case of my Brita Fjord Cool filter jug, that's exactly what's happened. I bought it on a whim as it was reduced to £10 in Woolworths and I decided to treat myself to something I considered at the time to be frivolous yet practical. There were a few Brita filter jugs on offer at the same price and I chose the Fjord Cool model simply because it looked a bit sleeker and sexier than the others available.
As soon as I got home, I quickly decided to test out my new 'gadget.' On this occasion, I did read the instructions which included handy diagrams to show you how to insert the filter cartridge into the jug. This filter jug incidentally takes the Brita Maxtra cartridges. It comes supplied with one but I bought ...

Many moons ago, on a German language summer course in Mannheim, I became good pals with a Norwegian chap. We stayed in touch and a couple of years later back in 1994, I took up his offer to come and visit him in Bergen, where he was studying at University.

the direction of St James? Park clad in little more than their stripey tops (though I did notice a few had trousers and such on too). We were scheduled for a short hop across the North Sea in the general direction of North East, (hoping all the time that the skipper of our vessel had a better idea about navigation than did we), and had therefore carried along some fairly heavy duty clothing, which felt, in the warmth of that pleasant Saturday afternoon, to be a bit over the top. Little did we know, gentle reader. Little did we know.
We arrived in the eerily calm waters of Norway?s coruscating coastline about 20 hours later, with a flying visit to Stavanger. Cars left, people left and we were off again, on the pondlike surface of the fjords, heading (with many a twist and turn) due North. Another stop at Haugasund left us rattling around a bit ...
