A Conversation for Tea
About bloody time!

The number of times I've had to tell people at work that tea needs boiling water! People just shake their heads and think I'm mad. Now at last I can cite an authority on the matter.
Now do you want to tell them that Kit-Kats shouldn't be orange flavour?

Don't talk to me about Kit-kats!
I have boycotted them since the moguls of nestle took over the company and moved production from York to Frankfurt.
Nestle have slowly taken over all my old favourites including HP Sauce.

That must be why they've brought out those new thick ones. No sense of style, the Germans.

Unless you LIKE oddly shaped things. I speak of course of the Volkswagens. They...interest me...to say the least.

I never order a cuppa tea here in Germany, you get a glass of warm water, a tea bag to dunk in it, some sugar and a sachet of lemon juice.
Makes me want to throw up just thinking of that lot!

With schnapps and who would want to drink tea anyway.

The moderate imbibulation of tea infusions causes a mild mannered approach to life.
And the desire to use long words.

It is the same thing here in Israel. I guess since it's a hot country, people are not used to drink hot drinks, and that's why you get a glass of mediom-hot water, a tea bag, and a sorry look on the waitress eyes...
But the big surprise are the French! In Paris there are some 'Salon de Tea' that make the "British Empire" look not that good.
