on all four. ***

I've used two teapots bought in Canada. Both dribble from the spout as you pour so you get spillage. :(

Teapot saga: I have to laugh at myself.

Having done some classic Brit moaning and groaning, not to say whining, I now have 3, plus the one on order :rofl:

2 of my offspring popped around the corner to their respective local friperie/flea markets and found/bought one for me; a friend of a friend also dropped by and brought me a classic Brown Betty :lol:

Anyone for a cuppa?

Name them, use each for a different tea and reserve one for posh visitors. :lol:

BTDT with coffee machines, back when the sprogs were still living at home & one developed an appalling habit of making/drinking flavoured Coffee.

I can’t remember the last time I had a posh visitor, people around these parts tend to think I’m a bit “posh” because I own teacups & saucers (as well as mugs)! ;).

we have just one teacup and saucer, well it's actually a breakfast cup, the rest are all mugs.

Did you read the comment? Someone obviously doesn't realise 22 minutes is a comedy program!

"it sure didn't look like those 2 ladies were promoting N.B. it sounded more like they were poking fun at N.B. Shameful."

One of my son's friends refers to it as 'the forgotten province'. Driving through NB on the highway from Edmundston to Moncton you barely see anything other than woods and a fence to keep deer and moose off the highway.

I had some friends who moved to NB in the late 70's, they bought some place out in the bush and I never heard from them again.
Michael, Dee-Dee, Jack, call me.

Some time ago there was a nice "you're from (named province) if you..." thing posted here. I went looking for it - no luck so far - but found this.

I've been driven to the north on the way down to Montreal. There were stretches as described but large parts of Montreal to Toronto (or was it just to Ottawa?) were mind-numbing.

Off to look again.

Tempted to add something but it's old. No point now.

Interesting ride home from work, lots of people dressed up for Halloween going home from parties I assume.

That doesn't suprise me the irony deficiency in NB is endemic.

I loved the clip though, it's nice to wake up to something funny :thumbup:
