    I wasn't referring to you of course. I get fascinated by trivia sometimes :emoticon-0126-nerd:
    It's lazy of the makers to call them pyramid bags if they are not pyramid shaped.
    As far as I know all pyramids ever built around the World have a square (or at least a four sided) base.

    Thays whay is thought too, more appealing if they can throw the mysterious pyramid word in their. Thing is, in Oz now this brand of tea bag is back to the standard ballsack design, plus seems to have lost flavour.

    Alas, upon searching the interweb it become popular for numerous people to spout up about this online, that the pyramid was forsaken for a standard tea bag plus lost its flavour !

    The Lipton tea research and study is true apparently, so tea companies have put less flavour in as it seems the majority dont appreciate it. Wouldn't be a cost saving thing of course :emoticon-0127-lipss

    Yes thats what i thought, we have those available here on display in the Uk section of grocery stores. Not bad, but the ole PG was the pick until recent changes.

    I just cannot stand a weak cuppa, pointless. Has to be strong and sweet.

    Dash of milk, teabag, boiling water, stir and squeeze(a bit like my b******* after a dose of X-Hamster), drink with teabag in.

    Sugar(one spoonful) possibly one time a day as I am sweet enough.

    Tea is for weaklings. And my mother.

    Ethiopian coffee is the numero uno.

    Out in hot climes tea is the most refreshing drink you can have.

    My late mother-in-law was always very amused why the gringo was having a cup of tea whilst others would be having a soft drinks.

    However, this hot chocolate from Sweden is absolutely fantastic and I have two or three cups a day when I am out there. It is very strong and sweet, the only stuff that beats this is the hot chocolate that the Italians serve up.

    I’ve had a chance to review my Greggs experience , and it was genuinely piss poor.

    Given that we have a mixture of Duke’s & dustmen on here, why do folk think Greggs has become so popular in recent years ?

    Because it is cheap, and more than edible.
