I remember jokeing with my mates about how people in certain countries bought bottled water and saying that will never happen here. plus on a hot day you could let the kids play under the water sprinkler and not worry about a water bill.

and that stupid GST, the statements that most items would cost less but some would cost more, yeah right.

Hehe. I worked in PET blow moulding back then - man, friggin water bottles - we (ACI) couldn't make 'em fast enough!

The ideas that came up... i.e. The RAAF were testing some custom bottles we made - they wanted to turf water bottles out of a Herky doing 300kts at 500ft... Didn't hear much more about that one...
