The boiling point of water varies depending on air pressure. At altitude the pressure is reduced, so according to Charles' Law, the boiling point drops. For example, at the summit of Everest water boils at around 72C.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Very true. Even in the Alps - e.g. If you go to Val d'Isere in France, the boiling point is under 94C.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Never! never! never! put the milk in the cup with the teabag still in it, the milk blocks the holes in the bag preventing the tea escaping and water getting in.
did no one ever fix a puncture on their bike when they were young by pouring milk in the tube? ........ Just me then.Comment
