...a box of 360 bags of PG Tips, all on its lonesome!

Was there a jar of Marmite following closely behind?

No, but there was a scabby looking pair of men's pants right next to them...

Despite all that nastiness, great to be here in New York, even if it is only for 3 days and minus the boy! Gorgeous weather here. As all the.UK folk know it's been chucking down in London and other parts. Next time I fly over here it's for the Big Move! 4 weeks from tomorrow...eek!

I just asked my mother-in-law to bring me the biggest box of decaff tea she can find when she visits from the UK next week. I hope it doesn't suffer the same fate!

That is going to be the standing order for any visitors that want to come and stay, 'of course you can come and stay, it will cost you a big bag of tea bags or some bottles of HP Sauce'.

I've basically survived for 8+ years in the USA without having to resort to expensive import shops to feed my PG Tips habit using this method! Luckily they sell tea bags in large quantities in the UK. Not like here where tea comes in boxes of 20 tea bags, individually wrapped with an odd string attached and tasteless.

The rate that Leigh and her friends go through the good tea bags for ice tea, I'll prob have to get some visitors over every two months to keep a supply going. Realistically they will prob have to revert back to their local ice tea as I will be guarding them like the the proverbial pit bull. Heracy to make ice tea out of good english Tea!!!!

Use bloody Liptons for ice tea, ferchristsake! Don't waste those proper tea bags any more!

[Saddle Bronc 124]

What about loose-leaf tea for iced?

(more time-intensive than Lipton's admittedly, but tastes way better)

Exactly, she laughs at my fury when she wastes the good stuff. As much as I love the US, I do take the mickey by saying that they are destined to have bad tea for evermore because they wasted so much of the good stuff when they poured it all in to Boston Harbour!! Pennance for such a heineous act.

Ive told her she has a few weeks of freedom to misuse the good stuff, as once I arrive she's back on the Liptons

Well this is a UK forum, so any talk of Ice Tea is basically moot. If you want a cool drink in the summer time have a Pimms and Lemonade with a slice of cucumber. Tea is served hot.
