...and then accidentally drop the soggy t-bag and it lands in the bottom of the cup/mug with a big splash creating a tidal wave of tea all over the worktop and scalding your hand at the same time!

So it's a unique blend of "herbal" tea that you drink.

Do you have special biscuits too?

No, just a cosy that my grandma knitted (knat?) before she knew the style existed.

I'm very upset at this mickey taking at the expense of tea cosies--These are a very necessary item for the sophisticated tea drinker.Coffee persons won't appreciate this fact.I'm just off to wash my ancient brass tea strainer and put out new doylies[can't remember how to spell doylies correctly--dolies??].Hobnobs look so much better on a well washed cake plate.Yours sincerely Hycinthe Bucket[pronounced bookay]

Quite right too. Actually my doilies are in need of a bloody good starching.

Obviously I'm posh being from Edinburgh and Em is all Jamie Oliver innit! Tea for her and both for me. Em will enjoy a coffee out but doesn't even have instant in the house. I quite like instant coffee.......
As you would expect, there is a whole rigmarole to making tea for Em, only to be expected her being a woman.
