Smith's airside at Birmingham Airport are changing £1.55 for a bottle
of still water. That's about twice what they charge in High St
branches. Talk about exploiting a captive audience!

Given the carbon costs & the waste mountains generated by water bottles, that seems an entirely fair price point. They ought to raise the price elsewhere too, instead of passing on the real costs of road haulage, waste management & poor air to us punters.
In fact, a nice touch would be if everything sold in an airport carried a 50% air travel tax. Polluter pays & all that...
