No Tea Bags

Any Tea should be left to infuse until such time as a spoon will support itself.

I am ignoring, totally and utterly, the jibe about my native tea.

The rumours that it is manufactured using, as a raw material, the dried and chopped detritus left over after the rhubarb harvest are false.
 
I drink tea every day, from the time I rise until " beer o´clock " , but it has to be tea, I don´t drink perfume or enema´s
Tea should be brewed as 06:00 and left on a low heat until 23:00 , least that´s the way I was brought up, topped up with water as and when required to get the next mug out of it!
Also, you should be able to leave the spoon in a prefect vertical position, without adding the sugar!
 
Thankyou. You have yet more Tyke points for seconding my spoon comment.

You may book an appointment to be measured for a Flat Cap
 
You can tell if your Tea is brewed correctly ..
A ...when your teaspoon is covered in thick brown Tanin after being used all day without washing it ..
B ...when your dentist accuses you of being a smoker having given up the woodbines ..
:D

When I worked in the telephone exchange in Winchester, I never washed my mug ( tea mug before you get smart )
Once a week I would clean it with one of those industrial hard paper towels they used to have, came up like new every time.
Top " Chefs " talk of " seasoned pans " I loved my seasoned mug!
 
That'd be "Blue Roll", would it not?
 
Ooh, I remember that. Standard Public Sector issue back in the 60s and 70s.

Shiny, waxy and utterly not absorbent.

But it had it´s uses, great for cleaning oxidised contacts! ( please note correction of US spelling )
 
I bet you still scrub your bath with Ajax powder, BP.


And I shan't mention the incorrect apostrophe .......

It was not there when I hit the post button
Where is the upload_2016-9-9_19-56-35.webp

Anyway, I don´t have a bath, haven´t taken one for 12 years, if you lived near you´d know that!
 
I use Best Universal Grit, Grime and Effluent Remover.

(It's the Finest Universal Cleanser Known)




A nod to the late, great Fred Wedlock.
 
Loved Freds song and anecdotes..
As a yoof I had trouble getting up in the morning having spent most of the night listening to James Stannage on Piccadilly Radio ...playing such stuff ..
Carrot ...Fred ...Harding to name but a few ...
Interspersed with music occasionally ..
Sadly those days are long gone ..
So burger it as Fred would say ...
;)
He once came to our folk club ..and did a set ..
Great bloke ..fond memories.

I actually made it to his private EMail list a couple of years before he died as my tape of Frollicks disintegrated and I contacted him to see if the situation was retrievable. I have, as the result, got two privately produced CDs of his work!

(Frollicks, and Something Old, Something New)

My Student crowd played Frollicks at every opportunity back in the mid 70s.
