I'm sorry, but how can you claim to be a tea guru and then tell us how to mash in the mug (and I am shouting)...   TEA POT!   Leaves, not sweepings up chucked in to tea bags, mash for 3 mins and no milk.   I like earl grey too LC, very phosisticated...   Cartons  knew about that one and it's true.                                                                                                                                                                             

depends 6ypsy, shout all you like lol.....but i prefer bags.....but i accept leaves are good but i am not 76 so i prefer the easy way !!

So you're not 71 eh!  Carton opening and tea mashing tips - hmmm, right down with the kids   BTW, is the cat real?  It's huge...                                                                                                                                                                             

the cat is real, he's a beautiful Maine Coon called Tompsk                                                                                                                                                                             

yesh yesh he is !!                                                                                                                                                                              

right tea, put water to boil, while waiting place tea bag (PG tips or Tetley I'm not fussed) into a mug with a small amount of milk, pour boiling water in and leave to mash for 30 seconds then stir with spoon until desired strength is reached, take out the tea bag and place into wives mug, which has now been mashing itself for about 30 seconds more than the first one, so there is now 2 tea bags in her mug, stir around until the tea spoon will stand up straight in the mug, leave tea bags in the mug and serve. I hate it that strong but she likes it, and her needs have to be met havent they :-)

never put milk ontop of a dry teabag its a sin!!! and punjana is ace.

I have a tip for everyone who owns a dog.

Mix fluorescent food dye into Rover's food before you feed him and then it stops people stepping in dog poo at night!                                                                                                                                                                             

or just dont feed him!                                                                                                                                                                             

top tip...everyone just do their tea how they want with what they want

And from me, always wear a balaclava.                                                                                                                                                                              

Never mind the balaclava mate, If I had a face like that I'd just walk around with brown paper bag over it  (only joking honest)                                                                                                                                                                             

You haven't seen me in a dress then. mind you i might give you the horn.
