Oooo Errrr Misses!  (Franky Howard accent needed)

There seems to be a conspiracy to separate me from my wonga!

Considering a commercial water analysis ( either Organics or Inorganics ) is typically €150 this service seems to be great value.

These guys have shed loads of yeast, I'm not sure if or how we could lean on them.
