It's seems such a silly thing, but I've had a bit of trouble up until now buying water. I have a dispenser in my room that takes big 19L bottles, and my housemate gave me the phone number of a shop just up the road that sells them. So I've called a few times, given my address, and waited for the guy on the motorbike to show up with my water - with no success! Eventually my housemate steps in, and orders it for me, which is very nice of her, but I've felt a bit silly not being able to get it for myself. I was raised to be an independent woman!
But now I have the secret - the name of a past resident of the house, who is known by the shop owner. So I am sitting here smugly drinking a cup of tea (using water which I ordered myself) in celebration of a small win :-)
