    No, but if you hum it, I'm sure I'll pick it up quickly enough.

    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

        Tea? Mixed? We do all that, just after the kettle has boiled, we put it in a mug (or a cup, if you're posh) and add hot water. And milk and sugar to one's taste, obviously. And then we mix it round a bit. Yorkshire tea? That's right up there with Welsh chardonnay in the list of mythical foodstuffs.
        If, by mixed, you mean blended, anyone anywhere can do that, and many do. None of them pretend their product is the product of the place where the product is blended. Tetley don't claim for instance that their tea is "Greenford Tea". Nor would they, and if you've ever been to Greenford you'll know why. The tag "Yorkshire Tea" merely shows how gullible Yorkshire folk really are. Put "Yorkshire" on the label and the gullible pay through the nose for it. Taylors of Harrogate must be thanking their lucky bonuses that there are enough morons in the Dales who fall for that marketing crap.

            If that's the case, it would be only the third food product to come out of Scotland which doesn't make the consumer violently ill, following smoked salmon and shortbread. The two which didn't make the top 3 being whisky, which makes some people violently ill (lifestyle choice and all that) and haggis (which makes everyone violently ill). Deep fried mars bars are a myth, apparently, so they didn't even make the shortlist.

              I was thinking of setting up a tea company and calling it "Theft", unfortunately the domain has been taken, so I won't.

              The tag line was "Proper Tea is Theft"
              …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                  Haggis has never made me ill. I honestly like the stuff. But then I like andouillette (made from pig colon, and smells like it when cooking) as well.

                      He explicitly said that he cannot tell if it tastes like piss or not - that's not rubbishing it. That's expressing a neutral state. You using the expression 'the Wee Tea Company' invited the play on words.

                      However, I will remove the links since you're unhappy with the association.
