Norway, where beer flows instead of water
Woman pleasantly surprised when alcohol comes through kitchen faucet

Updated: 6:36 p.m. ET March 13, 2006
OSLO, Norway - A woman thought she was in heaven when beer instead of water flowed from the faucets in her apartment in west Norway.

“I turned on the tap to clean some knives and forks and beer came out,” Haldis Gundersen told Reuters from her home in Kristiansund, in west Norway. “We thought we were in heaven.”

Beer in Norway is among the most expensive in the world with a 0.7 pint costing about $7.48 in a bar.
Gundersen said she tried the beer but that it tasted a bit odd and was flat.

It turned out that a worker in a bar two floors below had mixed up the pipes on Saturday evening, wrongly connecting a new barrel to a water pipe leading to Gundersen’s apartment. The bar got water in its beer taps.

“If it happens again I’m going to order Baileys (liqueur),” she said.

question is would you drink it if it was coming via the toilet cistern?

it would give new meaning to 'this beer tastes like piss'

[yoda313]

No not that part!! I understand that term

The cistern - ie "bowl"??????

I'm just talking about the bit of the toilet that holds the water before you flush but I'm not 100% what it was called so I took a guess at cistern

[MackemX]

it is called a cistern here in the UK but it looks like it's also called a tank



I suppose this just another American/English thing?

Ah ok thanks mackemx. Gotcha.

Some call it a cistern here too. But as for the picture above, they better have those paper a**-gaskets before I sit on something without a seat and 50 million others have sat their a** on.

I'm not exactly sure what those paper things are called, but they look similar to a lobster bib. I like my humble term of a**-gasket.

I'd think it was a thread jack, but beer flowing often leads to this anyway, so......

Yeah, that's an a**-gasket. Nothing worse than the guy before you leaving a few friends behind to hang on the rim.

Some public toilets I want a friggin tarp with a 6" hole in it. What'd the person do, grab their ankles & let it blow? Need a complete contamination suit with air tank to clean some of those.
