Back to the subject of tea 
Is it ever ok to make a cup of tea using a microwave oven?
Well apparently viewers are outraged at Detective Inspector Alec Hardy (Broadchurch) tea making skills as he used a microwave.
Well the person playing him David Tennant is Scottish so that might explain it

Probably to add insult to injury he probably used a Twinings tea bag which are now produced in Poland.
Has the man no shame?

Back to the questions the OP asked, perhaps?

Two things - one factual, one an opinion:
- Tetley tea (labelled as Orange Pekoe in Canada, just as "Tetley" in the UK) comes from exactly the same line in exactly the same production facility for both the UK and Canadian market. The only difference is the packaging.
- Fruit infusions are not tea. Do not confuse them with tea. Herbal infusions likewise. They are not tea. Do not confuse them with tea. Both are miserable concoctions that have no place in a teacup.

That is the opinion I am guessing...I will agree Camomile tastes very very bad regardless of whatever water or place in the world you are...

I buy "regular" tea at Sainsbury's and then live off it here just like I have to keep my spray deodorant appropriately stocked.
What amazes me is everyone talks about tea, sausages and cheese but no one complains about spray anti-perspirant deodorant?
Do you all walk around smelling natural or have you caved and carry the stench of a cradle?

Re: Reluctantly moving, need advice
Coming from you guys, who have done it, especially those who moved with young children and teens, was it a good move?
What was great about it? Was was awful? I would love to hear your stories and (hopefully) feel more confident about this (but I would want to know all the downsides so I can be prepared if that makes sense?)
Thank you in advance for any helpful comments.
Uxbridge is a decent place.
Your happiness in life is defined by the relationships you have. It you arrive in Canada and are able to find a decent set of friends you'll be fine. If you are unable to do that you will be unhappy. This will take time and effort, probably more effort on your part, because your background and preferences will need to change with some folks to assimilate effectively.
Well some positives are:
- different food, different TV, different mobile phone packages, different banking, different internet shopping, different pace of life, different schools.
see, the things you listed as worries or negatives are, in fact, positives. It's just how you choose to view them. Remember you choose your mood.

Thank you for the racist polemic. One is always amused by immigrants ranting about the immigration problem.
An error of fact in your post is the idea that immigrants to Canada are, in general, selected on the basis of points. They're not, the category accounting for most immigration is family reunification. Since the opening line is fallacious I haven't troubled to debunk the remainder.
