Tea talk

Yorkshire tea bags are a little more expensive than PG Tips or Tetley but can often be found on offer which is when i buy in bulk and they always get my vote because you get a proper strong brew. In terms of biscuits its Jaffa cakes or Hobnobs all day long for me.

A mug of extra strong tea and a Regal Kingsize gets my vote.

MrHappy

Regal King Size that's a blast from the past @Chris75! That was a proper smoke!

🤣 I'll go looking then!

Thanks for all the postal order info 👍️ That's just what I thought, instead of money dropping from the card, there will be a thing that they won't know what to do with. 😈

£18 odd a packet nowadays, so not something i would buy many of.

Just had yet another mug of tea, but have a cunning plan for later on today.

Have 2 litre vacuum flask filled with water, into which I cut up a lime. I want to see the difference drinking

that instead of tea during the day. 🚽

Very often use a bit of lemon in a cuppa and when using honey don't use a metal spoon

Chris75_

Honey in tea, eh? You're just an adrenaline junky. 😁

michael57

Haha used to be back in the day life is a tad more sedate now

Chris75_

Bloody water the same as the tea! 💧🚽

Oh well, beer it is then.

Chris75_

I can't do this water thing, I am back on the tea. I found drinking water throughout the day to be a miserable experience. My life is dull enough, without adding to it.

michael57

At least you tried haha 😄

I'm trying to drink more water and it definitely comes with it's annoyances 😅 but overall feel much more energised.

There's a Ringtons lady that visits the estate every so often. A nice treat but quite costly (bit too posh for me). I've been getting into flavoured tea's in the evening before bed. The Twinings sleep tea's I find relaxing. But they'll never measure up to a decent cuppa!

Chris75_

I think Tetley's is posh, I am strictly a Sainsbury's Extra Strong or CoOp 99 Blend kind of guy!

michael57

Pg tips man myself can we still call ourselves men

Chris75_

You may, @michael57, but only within the confines of your own home.

michael57

I will take that under advisement but will dismiss it

JessieJ

I'm not a tea drinker & have never been a water drinker, until about four years ago & now all I drink is water with a treat of couple of strong coffees in the evening.

I did try some of the fruit teas, after one cup, the bags just sit in a cupboard. I must throw them out!

Decaf tea only

Caffeine makes my bladder worse
