I hate those nippy little bastards, when I were a lass all the estate blokes went through a phase of having them (bit like the neds with their Staffies of today) only the JR's were evil nasty vindictive little ****ers, Staffies are lovely.

I cannot stand the small of tea, let alone the the taste of it. Would rather gargle warm piss out of a drunk tramp's knob than have a 'cuppa'.

The missus, however, loves her tea. Builders tea. The stronger the better. Yorkshire in preference. Let it soak and then muller the bag against the side of the mug (yea, mug, not cup you soft southern ponce) with a spoon or (given that we empty the dishwasher roughly once every month) your thumb. Oh and on taking the first swig, it's obligatory to let out a large, 'ahhhh' sound.
Haha, I'm like that with Nescafe but it's free at work, so being Scottish I drink it!

And what's wrong with Nescafe?

We were entertaining guests a while back and towards the end served tea and coffee. We'd run out of ground coffee so I made up a glass pot of Nescafe. I was going to tell them sorry, Nescafe is all we have (honest) but before I could do so some had already poured theirs and taken a sip. Then one of them said "Oooh, posh coffee!". I didn't have the heart to tell them the truth after that - and nobody noticed the difference.

You're only jealous.

The unknowing Nescafe drinker who thought it was posh may have meant it. They probably have International Roast at home. Now, that really is shite!!!!

Remember Tesco "sand" a few years back? That's what we called it anyway.

I've just had a cheese and Branston pickle sandwich. Large lumps though. I do prefer the nancy small lump stuff.
