    Nor, you can't make a cuppa? That both shocks and saddens me. Don't reboil water (EVER), pour as soon as boiled, only use Yorkshire Tea, and if using bags, give them chance to make friends with the water for a while, without interfering. Add milk and Voila.
    I'm drinking Yorkshire Gold tea right now, tis nice but I can't tell the difference to the standard stuff ? ...Appart from the 30p extra cost.
    Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

      I thought you said "add milk and vodka".

        I can make a decent cuppa, but I prefer his.
        Barry's? Wassat? You are lucky to have a chief tea maker!
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

          I prefer them, as someone else said, good for hard water. I think they have more depth of flavour than the others.

            I already employ myself. But I think I'm underpaid.

              Nope. When I phoned in sick I'd know I'd be lying.

                My chief tea maker doesn't even drink tea himself.

                      If you sacked yourself, could you claim unfair dismissal?
