Quote Grapes for Elgar Wine are grown at Lovells and Tiltridge Vineyards. Lovells Vineyard sits between the Malvern Hills and the riverside town of Upton upon Severn. The wines they produce are clean, crisp and fruity – typical of the English style. It does. EDIT: OK, it's white wine, but whatever...

Mark Albrighton Posted March 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 7, 2022 I went from two sugars, to one, then a sweetener, to neither. When I was on one sugar/sweetener I became fed up of some people saying “You have sugar? Sweetener is better.” and other people telling me “Sweetener? You’re better off with sugar.” I reluctantly became the battle ground for this debate when the kettle was on. So I forced myself to drink it without either. Actually it didn’t take very long at all to get used to. I accidentally had tea with a sugar/sweetener a while ago, just tasted kinda artificial.

I used to take 2 to 3 sugars in tea, but when I was at uni, there was some sort of national sugar supply problem, and the price went through the roof for a while. So I decided to go cold turkey. Tasted rather bitter at first, but after a couple of weeks I'd got used to it. And like you say, if I taste it with sugar now, I don't like it. I quit sugar in coffee at the same time, but oddly enough I still don't mind that with or without. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I used to put sugar on Frosties, I'm amazed I still have me own teeth. Not had it in tea for years now, can't stand the taste of it in tea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seat68 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 In my early teens I used to have 4 sugars in tea and smother cereal in it. Now I have no additional sweetener on or in anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted March 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 18, 2022 Received a hand written letter in the post today. Has to be the first hand written one I’ve received in years. It was from a Jehovah’s Witness putting forth their reasoning for God’s existence, so only of limited interest. Very neat handwriting though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolta Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I had a look at the etymology of the phrase poppycock today and was interested to see a couple of things. First that it's origin is Dutch and means something like 'soft turd'. Second that it's a brand of popcorn in the USA, which now seems like a terrible name. But the third and most surprising part of this journey of knowledge is that the popcorn is made in a place called Villa Park, which is apparently on lists of the best place to live in the US. It's in Illinois. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poppycock Poppycock Article Talk Language Download PDF Watch Edit This article is about the confection. For the exclamation, see Nonsense. For the opera singer seen on America's Got Talent, see Prince Poppycock. Poppycock is a brand of candied popcorn. Though it is marketed in a variety of combinations, the original mixture consists of clusters of popcorn, almonds, and pecans covered in a candy glaze. Other specialty combinations include mixtures with emphasis on cashews, chocolate, and pecans.[1] HistoryEdit The history of Poppycock is uncertain. According to Lincoln Snacks, Poppycock was invented by Howard Vair in the 1950s as a snack to accompany him on road trips.[2] In 1960, Wander, a Swiss company, bought the rights to Poppycock and moved production to their Villa Park, Illinois, facility.[2] However, in 1969, a snack matching the description of Poppycock was patented by Arnold Rebane, who worked for the Wander Company.[3] In 1991, Lincoln Snacks Company acquired Poppycock[2] and on September 7, 2007, Lincoln Snacks was purchased by ConAgra Foods. The product is also now cross-branded with the Orville Redenbacher's brand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 27, 2022 Share Posted March 27, 2022 The only clock I need to change is the one in my car. Have no clocks in the house or watches that I wear. Everything else updates automatically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
