My mother used to drink Lapsang Souchong with milk and sugar. However, the sugar had to be Demerara.
Earl Grey tea should be banned. If I wanted my tea to taste like perfume I'd be drinking it in the entrance of Debenhams.Ew, no. Earl Grey doesn't merit being sullied that way.
Quite! Almost an arrestable offenceEw, no. Earl Grey doesn't merit being sullied that way.
Be a little tricky given that the last Debenhams store closed in May 2021 and I reckon that any stocks of unsold perfume will have probably all been shifted by now.Earl Grey tea should be banned. If I wanted my tea to taste like perfume I'd be drinking it in the entrance of Debenhams.
Agreed. Have no time for Earl Grey. If I want a black tea I aleats go for a Darjeeling.Be a little tricky given that the last Debenhams store closed in May 2021 and I reckon that any stocks of unsold perfume will have probably all been shifted by now.
Agree though that Earl Grey tea is well over-rated, and has a distinctive aroma as if the tea cup it's in hasn't been properly rinsed when last washed!

Agreed, and Echinacea tea can join it.Earl Grey tea should be banned. If I wanted my tea to taste like perfume I'd be drinking it in the entrance of Debenhams.
Within reason. Weirdos who put the milk in their mug before the teabag and the water fully deserve all the derision they receivei'd ban people who sneer at other people's tea methods.
Well yes, they should be first up against the wallWithin reason. Weirdos who put the milk in their mug before the teabag and the water fully deserve all the derision they receive
My tea method is never to drink the horrible stuff at all.I only drink assam, with milk of course.
Anyway however you like your tea is the proper way to have it, i'd ban people who sneer at other people's tea methods.
That's a lesser crime than doing it wrong, at least!My tea method is never to drink the horrible stuff at all.
Much like my coffee method then.My tea method is never to drink the horrible stuff at all.
Ah, eBay and their 'improvements'. What have they done now?Ebay's updated categorisation system for model railway stuff should be banned. As should lazy sellers who put stuff in the wrong category.
The "gauge" category is now way further down the chain (so easier to miss), and manufacturers are listed alphabetically rather than in order of the number of results.Ah, eBay and their 'improvements'. What have they done now?
I'm not really interested in railway modelling but do build model aircraft kits, hopefully they haven't screwed around with those too.

In my opinion, valid orders are:Well yes, they should be first up against the wall
Teabag, water
Teabag, milk, water
Teabag, milk, water, sugar
Teabag, water, milk
Teabag, water, milk, sugar
Hmm, similar with model kits.The "gauge" category is now way further down the chain (so easier to miss), and manufacturers are listed alphabetically rather than in order of the number of results.
Also, they've started using the term "Railroad" even in the UK.
In affects the taste, but not necessarily in a negative wayAcceptable

Correct
Adding milk before water affects the taste IMO.
The only way is Teabag, boiling hot water and then milk last (and not a lot of milk either)In my opinion, valid orders are:
Teabag, water
Teabag, milk, water
Teabag, milk, water, sugar
Teabag, water, milk
Teabag, water, milk, sugar
The tea always goes in before the hot water. Otherwise you get no flavour out of it.
Stinks like cheap perfume too.Earl Grey tea should be banned. If I wanted my tea to taste like perfume I'd be drinking it in the entrance of Debenhams.
Dont u care about oar boys?Every November turning into a MY POPPY IS BIGGER THAN YOUR POPPY contest.
One of the positives of homeworking, I avoid all of that.Every November turning into a MY POPPY IS BIGGER THAN YOUR POPPY contest.

Yes Earl Grey, is like drinking perfume
Social Distancing on TV shows (e.g. presenters sat 2 metres apart). Because you know it's all for show, and they're hugging/back-slapping each other the very second the cameras are switched off.
