What? Do people not ask how you want it?

Some do. A few are able to understand what I ask for. Occasionally there are those that can actually execute it too. So it's generally easier to have sugar.

I find most people make others tea how they themselves like it, and assume a good cup of tea for them is good for everyone.

Last place I worked I did the tea round more than the rest of the department combined - both because I wanted mine done properly, and because I actually asked each person how they wanted it - and asked for feedback on whether I did it right - so they preferred me doing it.
Current place we all make our own - which is just as well since the crappy urn we have runs out of hot water after about three cups.

Dare I ask, how do you like your tea?

I had an incredibly disgusting nestle ice tea at lunch today. I felt like I'd drunk a bottle of syrup.

I find temperature to be a greater determinant of speed of tea drinking.

I had to explain to a number of adults the other day that a long Island iced tea didn't contain iced tea.

At least there isn't much scope for toppings...

I reckon PB's a strong tea type of person, leaving the tea bag in as long as possible. In fact he'll ask for the bag to be left in as the cup's brought to his desk and remove it when it's sufficiently brewed with his fingers. Or the top end of a biro if it's still too hot. It'll be served in a cylindrical cup (not one of those tapered cone like nonsenses) and have a handle that can comfortably contain three fingers, for when the cup's full and heavier, and still feels comfortable with two fingers when he's getting to the dregs.

It'll probably have a picture of a horse on it.

I like my tea strong with not too much milk, no sugar.

I have a Winnie-the-Pooh mug at work. It's quite small and says Bee Happy all over it. It was a spare one when I started 2 years ago.

I'd also like a teapot at my desk so I could pour a couple of brews, but that would mean having milk at the desk too.

Teapot sounds ace.

I have a cup that I keep meaning to bring to work. At the moment I have a very generic 'Searches UK' mug that I found in the kitchen here, after smashing my other one into the server room door in a fit of clumsiness.

It's got our town's clock tower on on side, and the moon on the other. I'll try and find a pic...

I'm kind of used to my 8.1 at this point. Think I'll stick with it a while. I prefer to give them some time. Time to work out at least the bulk of the inevitable bugs their new versions always seem to come equipped with when first released.

I'm happy with 7 for all my Video Editing and Gaming needs.

Probably won't get 10 unless/until I get a new machine, which will probably be a couple of years from now.

When people used to ask if I wanted a tea or a coffee I'd ask for coffee, black with no sugar. No way they could mess it up (too milky or too sweet) then.
And it would taste as foul no matter how much coffee was put in.

Yeah, or some sort of ravenous stoat. I just imagined an animal on there.

Conceits aside, I bet I'm right about the handle.
