Sidcup isn't exactly the most up and coming smartest place in the UK. I'm not sure if its the funny sounding name but Sidcup is the sort of place name that would end up in a stand-up comediens joke.
Not sure what an equivalent US city/town would be.

Further to my previous note I think it's fair to point out that selling "pure" water which is really tap water that has been "purified" is not that unusual. The article below says a survey showed that 2 out of 5 bottled waters are produced in this way. That's alright in the UK and I dare say in the US because the water supplies are healthy but it is a worry in certain other countries.

I just visited a Coca-Cola vending machine that has those mock beverage cans as selection buttons. The buttons for Dasani brand spring water were labeled only "300 mL." Period. For a moment, I had thought that the FPLA amendment had been enacted (grin).
