I have a "tea for one" set that I'd like to bring to work but the faff of having to get milk for each cup has stopped me. ┌─────┐ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ │ │ │ │ ┌─┐ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ └─┘ └─┘

The lack of kettles overseas was mindblowing to me when I first heard of it. I was incredulous! And so on. As for coffee, instant coffee is of course an entirely different drink. One I do not like the taste of one bit. Bleurgh. A well-made coffee from freshly roasted/ground beans, now that's a good drink. At work we have Nespresso and we have Yorkshire Tea. Things could on the whole be very much worse.

Instant coffee is fine. No, really. So's Starbucks.

And Cadbury's dairy milk is also nice chocolate.

It is a bit of an aquired taste. I never noticed any sleepiness, but perhaps the two teabags I put with the one chamomile counteracts that? Hmm. Don't know.

I've noticed a half teaspoon of honey takes that offish taste away, leaving it more floral, but I can drink it without.

I am thinking about maybe changing my morning coffee for tea now, so thanks for that, lads. I miss a good cuppa, been too long.

Did you ever see such a messed up situation in your whole life, son?

People over there make tea in a microwave?

Don't get me started. Yes, they do sometimes. They'll even stick the bag in a cup with water and heat it up that way so it "steeps and heats" at the same time. That ain't tea, it is just tannic acid. :-S

They also drink Cab Sauv cold (some) ales chilled to 34 degrees and don't know how many ounces are in a proper pint.

Some of 'em don't have kettles, but I grew up with kettles, teapots and tea cozies.

If there is no kettle there is no tea for me. What is a house (or flat) without a tea kettle, I ask you?

I'll skip the instant coffee and Starbuck's if you don't mind but I would like a chocolate.

Of course that reminds me of that knobbly bar I had in Stratford... (yum)

I find full fat coffee very strong tasting after drinking decaff for the past year. I used to /LOVE/ coffee, the stronger the better (I think I became addicted to it) and would often buy a large Costa coffee on the way to work. I have the occasional caffeinated coffee now and never notice a caffeine hit from it. Neither did I before, that I was aware of. I did have a big lift (for an hour or so) from a Pro Plus years ago, before I started drinking coffee much, but the last time I had one it didn't seem to have any affect. Me
