today, whilst shopping in the trafford center,manchester, i saw this in the food hall of a large store, whose name implies that they sel - fridges
water, 95p to eat in £1.05
therefore my question
how do you eat water?
(to any americans who may be confused by this question, in england you get charged for water in resturants, you dont get pitchers of ice water automatically the moment you are seated)

I think Selfridges are trying to imply that they don't want people to use up one of their tables for drinking water on it's own - they want you to order a meal with it.
Annoy them by sitting down and studying the menu at length while drinking free iced tap water. Then leave.

Amfred is absolutly right. The restaurant might not like it but you can ask for tap water, in which case you won't be charged for it.
As for eating water..!

Perhaps they serve it, instead of in a glass, in a bowl with a spoon like A very thin soup!
Whatever! that is one very expensive item I will not be purchasing on my next trip to Manchester!

I guess if you have to pay for water in frozen form, it could be considered a food item...but that's pushing it pretty far!

Hmmm!
Strange!
I suppose if you put it in a bowl and then ate it with a spoon! similar to soup!

10p to 'eat' water in!!!! I hate places that charge extra for rubbish like that! What overheads are that expensive??? The 'restaurants' are self service and the staff are on minimum wage!
