Where do you get Punjana out here? I haven't had that since my last visit to my mum's in 2007

I had a fun day yesterday - the local elementary school (that my kids used to attend) has a "friends club" for the 3rd grade girls, and yesterday hosted an "English Tea Party" for them. I was asked by my friend to be the guest speaker and to talk to them about how to drink tea British style and the tradition of afternoon tea. The girls had proper cups and saucers, tea served from teapots, sugar lumps in bowls, milk served from little milk jugs, and plates of (delicious) homemade scones and shortbread biscuits. My friend made me wear a tiara (because I always take afternoon tea in a tiara don't you know), so I channeled my inner Julie Andrews and taught them to sit up straight, place napkins on their laps, pour the tea first, then add milk (never cream!), add the sugar (never more than 2 lumps!), stir without clanking and place their teaspoons on the saucer. They loved the lesson and the tea party, and they all now know how to drink a proper cuppa. You just have to catch them early enough!

That's not its only meaning......my partner is based at a nick - he's a copper.

kimilseung

he is not based at a 'to nick' though

Pulaski

But he may be sent out on a raid to nick a suspect.

or the judge might utter "t' nick wi' 'im, five years"

I drink that, with Gin or Vodka.

Tonic. Has me thinking about Ointment for some reason, or was that another thread.

Granddad told me you have to tip it into the saucer and slurp it. If company is coming round then you have to put your teeth in.

My husband devoted a significant fraction of his luggage to a couple of packages Also, I once ordered direct from the company's online website, and the drugstore.com website carries the Irish Breakfast and Fairtrade varieties.

Truly awesome. My hat's off (decorously) to you. Now all I want to know is how to get some local shop carrying Punjana (of course).

SultanOfSwing

Very cool, thanks

No judge would ever say that because a nick is not a prison or jail (gaol).

kimilseung

This is Jamaican slang, right? I remember it from Ali G

Indeed

SultanOfSwing

It does sound like an Indian name for a lady garden, doesn't it?
