Does the Queen know about this??
I heard this on my local news this morning and they were making a big joke about it. Any thoughts from the UK people?
I was thinking about moving to LA LA land but maybe I should go to Jolly 'Ol England instead.

Prozac found in Britain's drinking water, says report
Agence France-Presse
London, August 9
Britons consume the anti-depressant drug Prozac in such large quantities that traces of it can now be found in the country's drinking water, The Observer newspaper reported Sunday citing health officials.
"The Environment Agency has revealed that Prozac is building up both in river systems and groundwater used for drinking supplies," the newspaper said. "The government's chief environment watchdog recently held a series of meetings with the pharmaceutical industry to discuss any repercussions for human health or the ecosystem."
It said that the drug finds its way into the water supply from treated sewage water.
However, the government's Drinking Water Inspectorate said Prozac was likely to be found in such a "watered down" form that it was unlikely to pose a health risk, The Observer said.
According to the newspaper, in the decade up to 2001, "overall prescriptions of anti-depressants rose from nine million to 24 million a year".
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
