Like all proud Englishmen, I love a good cuppa. I'll take it pretty much anyway it comes. But times are changing and your supermarket tea aisle is looking more like a branch of Holland & Barrett. Now I'm man enough to admit to drinking the occasional cup of Earl Grey and peppermint tea is good for the old irritable bowel. But what you got these days. Chamomile tea for your nerves-suck it up pussys. Pomegranate & Raspberry, cherry & cinnamon plus countless other. It's going too far. At best **** like this belongs with the likes of kia-ora and um bongo in the squash aisle, but that would be disrespectful to the honoured squash beverages of our youth. Send them back to Holland & Barrett I say. Spare our national drink from being associated with seed eating hippies. Save our cuppa!
The women at work drink them. Then calculate in their calorie counting apps what they save compared to a proper cup of tea. Always the fat ones.
Normally I'm the one to go against the grain, especially of popular opinion (allegedly) but I'm with Chazz on this. No dunky, no point.
Well you wanna see our cupboard, the missus has every tea imaginable in there but having said that I do like earl grey, lady grey (yes lady GREY not lady GAY) and lapsong souchong.....but no fruit teas! and I think those of mine do pass the dunk test
Fruit teas are REALLY bad for your teeth. The acid strips the enamel. Seriously. Too any and you will look like a no teeth crack addict.
My missus drinks them, they are disgusting. Actually I prefer coffee, have done for years, even regular tea makes me feel a bit....
We have well stocked selection of fruit teas. We never have to restock as no one ever drinks them, they are there for emergency use only. However you really are missing a trick with green tea. Requesting that in a posh gaff trumps any other tea. Gunpowder green tea just takes it to the next level......it shows class in a Guardian reader sort of way. I prefer Ringtons tea above all else, proper job and dunking heaven.
I tried green tea(Twinings)for the first time last week,a colleague brought it in,having heard of the health benefits. It was bloody lovely,but we made the mistake of adding milk,no no no. I'm a convert though. Also,and i don't want to open up a can of of worms here,but i'm a McVities Digestive man myself... Edit: Oh i forgot to say...is fruit tea technically real tea ? Has is got tea in it ? I mean from a tea plant...
Why would you want a change from beer? If you're a little fed up with Hobgoblin get on the Bishop's Finger If the Bishop's Finger gets a little stiff hop on an Old Tom If the Old Tom wears you out get your mouth round a Cunning Stunt Only acceptable hot drink is coffee, strong & black. To be used only as a "wake me up" so you can drink more beer
The lads been naging to get some of these body building supplements, the mrs looked into it and apparently some of em have green tea in em. Weird. Summat to do with weight loss and leanness. Oh ye the mrs drinks green tea, makes a big deal out of being healthy as she passes me my Yorkshire tea. Snooty nose up in the air, she then goes in kitchen afterwards and snaffles an Orange Club biscuit when she thinks i cant hear her.
I've gotta do a big food shop later. Just waiting for the crowds to die down. Might get some of that green tea.
Did your lad fail to mention,you have to "PUMP IRON" whilst taking these supplements Chazz ? Otherwise you'll just get fat.
It'd be more comfortable if he just got on the beer. I, for the most, just pump gas. Very rarely are solids involved.
Hmm could be a lot of single ladies on a Saturday night triple H. Split arses always have this dream of meeting their ideal man when they're in their gym gear no make up on bollocks pushing a shopping trolley. Back in the day i used to go round Co Op whats now Morrisons on Holness Rd, if i was skint on a Saturday night and try n pick up a few ladies. Just ram em wi ya trolley and away you go.
