Why does that sound so rude? Or is it just me.........


Miles Smugglers tea for me, or to be honest, fresh coffee any time.

Leave for 10 mins and repeat the stirring/squeeze regime.....then enjoy

you have way too much time on your hands but whatever works for you....

Obviously polluted with soggy doughnuts for extra flavour

Try cleaning your kettle, or using filtered water.

I find that if you are as common as muck and do not wash your cup, staining is inevitable.

When my daughter did her school work experience at my office she was appalled at the state of my tea cup. I explained it was the soluble stuff that killed you. the insoluble stays in the cup.

Bitch did not listen and washed them out. 20 years of flavour lost.

The only propper way to make tea is with loose leaves in a tea pot, for an every day cuppa Typhoo or 99 are good but for a treat then Earl Grey, if it's a bag only choice Typhoo Decaff because it tastes nice & Tesco have it on special a lot, yes i'm a tight ar5e.

same with the stuff of the Pennines

I'm Quite particular about Tea, it has to be Yorkshire Tea drunk black, and it must also be Tea-leaves......I do not wish to corrupt the fine taste with milk, sugar, honey or a paper-bag....

( a nip of wizzer is acceptable on occasion however ! )

bleugh, black tea and leaves.

Somebody, a couple of months back, pointed out i always leave a bit in the bottom of the cup. They said I must have had a gob full of tea leaves once too often. Funnily enough when I was little, my grandad used to make tea with leaves, scarred me for life choking on tea leaves. beeeugh
