Del Boy had a spring in Peckham !!

If you find a natural spring in your garden, you could be in the money. Many years ago a local farmer found a spring and years later this is supplying bottled water, plus a brewery has opened near the site. This was in a fairly hilly location, although not at the top.

The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.
