...from my experience in Portsmouth Dockyard circa 1973, what made 'higher ranks' in the civilian branch fall asleep in the afternoon was gin. :-D |

It was rumoured that when I was in the army, bromide was put in our tea to supress our sexual appetites. I think it has just started to work on me. Bob |

I used to prefer tea over coffee but have gone right off it in recent years. Agree with Sharron that teabags just don't hit the spot - always find there's a sort of 'under taste'. I've tried china and stainless steel teapots but nothing seems to taste right. Perhaps it's our water? Recently had a water softener installed, mainly to reduce limescale on washing machine, shower etc. but it's not that nice to drink - we have kept a mains tap in the utility for drinking. Perhaps filtering it would help? I use teabags out of laziness so maybe it's time for a change... |

I drank tea when I was a child (in my parents house you ate and drank what was put in front of you, or you went without). Tea was "typically Scottish"....... very milky and two sugars. I stopped drinking tea after I started work, and bought my own coffee, much to my father's disgust. |

So many people say they don't like tea and neither do I if it is made with a tea- bag. |

I agree Maggie...I lived in the north then when I moved to London I could not stand the scum and taste you got on tea...bought a filter which did improve it. |

I don't like tea (except for chrysanthemum tea, DH calls it perfume). Just the tea, nothing added. |

Old standards have gone by the board since tea bags came into being. |
