AquAid in Edinburgh and The Lothians

AquAid in Town – Bristol
I’ve always had an affinity for Bristol – not sure if it’s because it’s a coastal port and I have seafaring in my blood (my Grandad served in the Royal Navy in WWII on the HMS Dorsetshire, which was built in the Portsmouth docks), or because there’s something about...
Switch it up ways with Water for Spring

AquAid and April Fool’s
Love it or hate it, the day will soon be upon us. Personally, I’ve never been a fan, perhaps an underdeveloped sense of humour, but there’s no denying that there have been some awfully clever April Fool’s pranks played over the years. The French call the day Poisson...
Water Cooler Trivia 2017 – Part I – all things British

Doolally at the Water Cooler
If there’s one thing I love, its words. Long words; clever words; descriptive words; short words; double-entendres – they all make me smile. What I love in particular though are euphemisms, or adjectives that have formed through colloquial speech and are either...

A survey conducted by a recruitment agency, polling hundreds of employers from various companies, found that the predominant reason for a drop in productivity was employees being glued to their mobiles. Other employer bugbears which topped the list were: Internet...
The origin of Valentine’s Day
Valentine’s Day, for some, is both one of the most dreaded and alternatively, most anticipated days in the February calendar, for a variety of reasons. Dreaded because the day seems to have morphed into a rather commercialised and forced day of having to publicly...
Stormy Weather, Water and Doris
I was reading up about weather storms and wondered why it is that most storms are named after women. I couldn’t seem to find a definitive answer though – some sites indicated that a few decades ago it was usual to assign female names to hurricanes but no other storms...

Cables under Water
Recently in my neck of the woods we had a huge brou-hau-hau with a well-known ISP (internet service provider). It was a bun fight of note. I don’t know about where you are, but where I am, service providers have a rather unpleasant habit of blaming other service...
Water and Winter Weight
The winter weather is upon us, bringing with it time to bundle up, exercise less and usually eat less greens, and more of the comfort food … or so we’d think. But, resorting to more hibernation type habits isn’t really the way to go (One of my personal mantras is...

Does your Water Cooler work for You?
There’s so much literature out there about water coolers. Water cooler jokes; euphemisms; there’s even an expression where gathering at a water cooler station means the same as you being able to take a break, as in, ”I’ll meet you at the water cooler in 10”. Although...
Winter Snow and Hot Water
We Britons are big on weather – it’s the go to topic of discussion irrespective of whether we’re chatting with colleagues around the water cooler or family or friends, and it’s the safety topic when you’re chatting to strangers or people you’ve just met. Discussing...
Are all Water Cooler suppliers the same?
We don’t believe so. There are a multitude of water cooler suppliers in the UK, but there is only one AquAid. What sets AquAid apart are the integral inclusions that we provide with each water cooler purchase. These aren’t add-ons - although we offer those too – these...
Water Cooler, Water Boiler … Cuppa Tea
There’s been some rather soggy weather in England this week – bit rude I’d say – it’s only October. While you’re keeping warm indoors and contemplating life, the weather in general and how soaked you’ll get outdoors if you make a dash for it, here are a few thoughts...
How to Kick Off your New Year (healthily)

How to land yourself in hot water
I’m a little nervous as I write to you – as I think that perhaps this topic could land me in a bit of hot water. Then again, I don’t see that I should be nervous, as I’m sure that the food police aren’t out to get me. The topic for discussion is all about Marmite....

How being in Hot Water’s good for you
As we head into the colder months, and possibly bemoan the sometimes icy grip of winter, there lots of positive news out there. And it’s as simple as drinking a hot drink. Let’s face it, very little in life can’t be improved with a hot drink. They can warm us or cool...
It’s Hot, Hot, Hot! Or how to AquAid when the temperatures soar
Right, so AquAid is a water and water cooler products provider – this we know. And we’re definitely the go to company to go to (ha ha) when it starts heating up – this I’m sure you don’t need to be told (again). But while the temperatures are soaring here in good ol’...

It’s a very important week in water this week, with the World Water Week summit taking place in Stockholm from 27 August to 02 September. Participants from around the world will gather to convene events about water and development issues. It is also an opportunity for...
Water and the Olympics
We all remember the phantasmagorical 2012 Olympics held in the U.K. which, according to all reports, was a resounding success and now, four years later, we’re in the thick of things with the Let’s Go Rio Olympics. And when I say the thick of things, I mean it, from...
Favourite Watery Words
We can’t always be stats and measurements and water saving tips. Sometimes we just have to go with the flow (aha) and celebrate the joys of descriptive language. Keeping it watery, here are a few words from A to Z (or thereabouts) to describe the liquid bringer of...
Water Conservation down the Garden Path
I know we bang on a lot about water (no surprise there, Murphy Brown) and most of it’s to do with keeping ourselves happy and hydrated (and our children and the elderly and the animals), but seeing as there’s a whole planet out there that needs water to survive, I...
Across the Water – British Isle Islands
To avoid any confusion, the title refers to islands around the island of Britain and Ireland and Scotland and not to the island of Britain itself. Yes? Picture the scene – summer holidays many, many summers ago. An avid bookworm already at eight stands in a bookstore...
Protectors of those on the Water – Lighthouses
Lighthouses have long held a fascination for many people, me included. Perhaps it’s to do with the analogy between the wild seas and the shining beacon and staidness that a lighthouse offers; the fact that many lighthouses may have started out in the era of...
Vikings across the Water
There are so many schools of thought when it comes to our origins that it’s difficult to get a clear idea of which is correct (unless you have the moola to shell out for DNA testing which most of us don’t.) Having looked at the historical migratory patterns of the...
Summer Fun in the U.K.
Summer is upon us – lift your hands in air and say – Hey ayyy! But what to do and where to go inside of our now less than frosty shores? Here are a few suggestions that may shine some light on your wintery grey matter: Woodland Trust - The UK has centuries-old oaks,...
Water(y) News – Just keep swimming
On Monday I received a quick update from AquAid South Coast about their supplying the Glastonbury Festival with the festival’s drinking water requirements – to quote it directly, it read, “Things are going swimmingly ... LOL ...” Seems as if the famous British weather...
Water(y) Events – Glastonbury 2016 – all aboard!
The Glastonbury Festival has a long and illustrious history stemming back to the first ever festival which began the day after Jimi Hendrix died, in 1970. This year the Festival is running from the 22nd to the 26th of June. Attendance has gone from a modest 500...

Construction companies are part of a specialised industry, as are their requirements, as they need to ensure that their construction sites adhere to regulations that ensure the health and safety of all on site. One such requirement is that there is adequate hydration...
Collecting Water – How Many Hours in Your Day
It’s not often that I can say that I’m truly overwhelmed. I may drama queen a little about being overwhelmed but that’s not often the case. What I did find truly overwhelming was my recent nine day visit to Ethiopia at the behest of AquAid and at the invitation of a...
Water Cooler Wonder – the Glowing Jellyfish
Jellyfish and me – we don’t have the happiest co-existence historically - jelly, totally different story. Mulberry and orange flavoured jelly remain my favourites, but before I get sidetracked ... The unfortunate history began with summer hols at the ocean, wonderful...
Ethiopia – Land of the ‘Burnt Faces’
Ethiopia is without a doubt one of the most fascinating countries on the African continent. It has an incredibly ancient and cultural history and is believed to be (by some) to be a cradle of civilisation and the birthplace of Christianity. Addis Ababa is Ethiopia’s...
The Talking Water Bottle
We should all know the direct correlation between drinking sufficient water and keeping healthy by now (OK, well I should, I’ve researched and written about it often enough - maybe you shouldn’t), but quite surprisingly in spite of a plethora of information from just...
Too Cool for School – the Water Cooler that Could
Schools are back and summer is on the way. It’s always a concern that your child is getting enough water to drink during their busy school day. Fortunately, school water coolers are pretty much de rigeur in schools across the length and breadth of the U.K. But what...
Brain Power and Water – Part II
I was quite amazed and impressed with the extensive, almost unending list of one’s brain function and how something as simple as drinking water can radically affect how our brain function. So impressed in fact, that I’ve written a Part II, because as we know,...
Brain Power and Water
My brain (oh Pooh of very little brain) is wont to skip along from thought to thought not unlike a greased toboggan on a stretch of snow. On occasion though, it hits the tarmac or an unsnowed patch and sticks a little. And ..... then it’s off again. One of these...
Tales from the Water Cooler – Dinky Toys and Venomous Snakes!
Here’s a true tale for you to relate at your next water cooler gathering. Please feel free to relate your own ‘you’ll never believe what happened to me as a sprog’ story too! I recently wrote a blog about loves of my mine that started in childhood – the first one...
Water Cooler Manners – Two Point Oh One Six
Many moons ago I blogged about water cooler etiquette – this year as we segue into spring (actually, spring was officially on 22 March) I was wondering if, four years on, there’s been any change about the ‘do discuss’ versus the ‘do not discuss’ topics especially with...
Think Tank at the Water Cooler – for the love of architecture
My particular love arrived when I started playing with my brother’s hand me down Lego. In this I must say, I’m a purist – the old Lego is what Lego is meant to be. I’ve never quite understood all the pink and purple brightly coloured weirdly shaped pieces Lego is...
The ‘Cuddle Hormone’ – Oxytocin
I’m always amazed at the amount of information available online. It boggles my brain. Take f’r instance, Oxytocin. I came across the name as I was researching the benefits of taking a hot vs. a cold shower. According to the article, if you shower using hot water, this...
Hot Water? Cold Water? What’s your opinion?
I’ll admit I’m the world’s biggest wuss when it comes to bathing or showering in cold water. Even when there are scorching hot temperatures, I’ll still opt for a mildly warm shower instead of ice cold. I may slowly turn the hot water tap down during shower but even...
Can Mindfulness Help in Schools?
This word has been popping up often across the web and I’ve oft wondered what it meant. Because I’m an inquisitive so-and-so I read further and found out a little more. Essentially the concept of mindfulness is rooted in Buddhist philosophy and according to our dear...
Driver Hydration and Other Hydration Type Scenarios
As I’m typing this, I’m literally looking (through?) a glass of water waiting for inspiration to strike. Rather funny, that, considering what the topic of this blog’s about. Have you guessed yet? *eyes slide back to the glass of water* *ponder* *ruminate* *again, eyes...
Inspirational Water
You may have gathered by now that I rather enjoy writing (or typing I suppose is more correct). In fact, I generally find it the best way to express my thoughts. I think a LOT and am a visual person; however the path between my brain and my mouth isn’t always a clear...
Does Drinking Water make you Smarter?
Does Drinking Water make you Smarter? Quite simply, yes, it does. How so, you ask (with a healthy lean towards scepticism)? Well, it’s like this: Every single organ in our bodies relies on being hydrated (i.e. water) to function; this includes the brain. While you may...
Leap Year Two Point Oh One Six!
What is Leap Year exactly? Simply put, it’s basically a catch-up day once every four years due to the disparity between the solar system and the Gregorian calendar. A complete orbit of the earth around the sun takes exactly 365.2422 days to complete, but the Gregorian...
British Food Habits – the times, they are a changing
*Figures charting the UK's changing food-buying patterns since 1974 have been released. So what’s changed since then? Data from 150,000 households who took part in the survey of their food and drink habits from 1974-2000 has been published by the Department for...
A Water ‘Trend’ (hopefully) Here to Stay
Two weeks ago I was blathering on about how simple it is to effectively reduce vehicle incidents on the road by instituting driving hydration (and no, this doesn’t mean hydration through drinking your favourite alcoholic tipple and then roaring off down the M1). I...
Hydration and Healthy in the Workplace (Water in the Workplace II)
Two summers ago, I blogged about keeping yourself tuned and fit while at work. Now, apparently it’ll be spring in a few weeks but for the moment it looks like we’re really still in the grip of winter. Despite this rather chilly weather, now is a good a time as any to...
Driving and Hydration – does drinking water make a difference?
A while ago I wrote about a slight accident I had while driving a friend’s car, entitled A Funny Thing Happened on the way to the Water Cooler. The blog was all about irony, karma, call it what you will. I’ve also mentioned day-time fatigue that’s brought on by not...
