Found out my in-laws go milk first and now get up early when we visit so I can make the tea and have at least one proper cup As an aside, they use UHT milk - I might have married into pure evil. I think it may be even worse than that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consequence of toddler and baby in the house. But still good. is that because you are so busy your tea goes cold?, or that you have some wappy OCD where you are so scared of scalding a child you make it cold!?

rjw63 Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Earl Grey, one sugar, three sweeteners, a tiny dash of skimmed milk. Has to be Twinings or Tetley, most cheaper versions don't taste of bergamot at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it tastes different at first, but I got used to it quickly and it’s fine. As for tea, clipper fair trade tea ( I won a year’s supply once) or twinings and sometimes green tea. Like an earl grey, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a load of old bollocks that was though the cakes were rather good It was cool getting in the Taxi at Euston and saying "The Ritz please" Yeah I did that once for my Mum's birthday. They wouldn't even let me take my jacket off (I was wearing a shirt and tie underneath, not just a wife beater) which put me off tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
