Our office boy used to add rainbow milk to everything - not good! I like Tetleys everyday tea sometimes but really prefer coffee.

I am a tea freak, tried them all!
Tetley's ok but prefer M&S own brand, great cup of tea, the extra strong one. Or Barry's of course being biased, is the best cup of tea.

Not as bad as in Saudi--the ONLY milk they ever have there (and I'm talking Saudi Aramco, the world's largest company) is f'king evaporated, and that's disgusting in anything but in tea is beyond description.

Not an alchoholic! Just really love good wine! My mate's an alky and she hides vodka in the garage so she can have a good glug before going out for a run. Apparently vodka on an empty stomach then running is like mainlining drugs. If I star drinking spirirts before the school run I'll start to worry.
M&S tea is brilliant. Drinking their earl grey now. Really great.
Did anyone get a mug of tea when they were kids? It was really common when I was small and you don't see kids on tea now! I would never think to give it to mine but I loved a cup after school.

Re: Addiction problem to
I drink right around 8-10 cups a day. Tea is my water and soda all rolled into one. I used to drink about as many cups of coffee when I lived in Abu Dhabi but switched over in my 20s.
My cat also loves tea and years of drinking it hasn't had any ill effects on her.

Re: Addiction problem to
Someone mentioned alcohol.............
I'm of the view that defining what makes someone an alcoholic has nothing to do with volume - it is to do with need.
I can drink a few pints, but it doesn't bother me if I go without booze altogether for days on end........... a former workmate however used to stop off at the pub every day on his way home from work. "Just the one", he would say...... but he needed it.
An alcoholic, I think, and I told him so.
