Just getting a cuppa, my dear. :)

Didn't you at one point relish scaring off newbies? Or am I confusing you with someone else? (In which case humble apologies...:o )

I don't know, but everyone in England to me loves their tea strong enough to stand on:ohmy:
Not really a tea person but if I take it, it needs to be strong, hot and sweet - exactly how I like my men :)

I'll take lemon tea; and does anyone have any garibaldi biscuits?

Personally, I like thin china cups. Can't stand those thick British Rail jobs.

I'll rephrase it then to your suggestion and a cuppa would be lovely with my new favorites, dark chocy kit kats.No good for my tummy size though.

PG Tips, medium strength, a good splash of milk, no sugar.

I have Ginger Nuts, Rich Tea Biscuits and Milk Chocolate Caramel digestives to share (really :o ). Oh and if I really like you.... an Eccles cake. :p

white "chocolate" has no cocoa in it really.... there is no chocolate taste.

i'd google for it but feeling lazy today. :p iirc it's only the cocoa butter/ fat from the cocoa bean and none of the "chocolate liquor".

My rellies moved over here (a while back :o ) from Chorlton, and I've done loads of family history for others who have firm roots in the Heatons.... primarily Heaton Norris.
