Re: Yorkshire Tea
It could be that advancing years are reducing your cognitive and observational skills resulting in an overdunked biscuit.

I'm still boggling at the idea that people go to America and then visit WalMart. What are they, caravan dwellers?

Re: Yorkshire Tea
I think you might be right. My free-wheeling dunking days are waning, so when the opportunity arises I tend to go at it with reckless abandonment. I have switched from custard creams to bourbons to try and add a little more of an exotic hue to the proceedings.

Have you considered ginger nuts?

Ooh, it's a slippery slope, I tell you. He's already left the innocent world of custard creams behind and is on the chocolate fillings. Ginger nuts can lead to uncomfortable feelings of inadequacy, only alleviated at great personal risk by experimenting with coconut macaroons. Don't go there, Oink.

Re: Yorkshire Tea
Of course we're wrong. When did hard facts and science ever stand in the way of an "it doesn't taste the same" opinion.
Look, people, Tetley Orange Pekoe teabags sold in every single Canadian supermarket are EXACTLY THE SAME as Tetley Original teabags sold in the UK. For those who make a special journey over the border to buy "English" Tetley in US Walmart stores - it's a wasted journey. Tetley sells the same product in the US as "Classic Blend", in Canada as "Orange Pekoe" and in the UK as "Original." The US "British Blend" is the same stuff as the Canadian "Bold Blend." They're made in the same place, on the same production line, using the same ingredients, but put in boxes with different words and pictures on them. Any difference in a brew made using the same water is entirely in the imagination of the drinker.

My God man, you will be trying to tell us next that Yorkshire Tea is the same as Lancashire Tea. Walking on eggshells springs to mind!
