What is a barista in any case and why do you need a 2:1 in English to be one? I am with the other Jim all the way, bloody young people and there silly ways.

Like Halfie, I find market stalls a good bet but the last time I had tea made with proper tea-leaves from a cafe was on the top of Portland Bill in about 1988!<br />Of course, nowadays being a bus pass holder I just take a flask with me when I go out for the day :-)Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14502754753792780008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-9936913762093444422013-03-13T18:50:49.550+00:002013-03-13T18:50:49.550+00:00Sarah you are spot on right about getting a good c...Sarah you are spot on right about getting a good cuppa in a greasy-spoon cafe... and as the 'coffee chains' struggle with the concept of coffee they NEVER get my custom either. <br />KevinTOOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07820971797758280402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-82560713784647693212013-03-13T18:36:52.890+00:002013-03-13T18:36:52.890+00:00Oh - and one of the best drinks of tea I get is fr...Oh - and one of the best drinks of tea I get is from George's stall on Norwich market. It's served in a mug, and it somehow manages to stay hot to the end, even when accompanying a fry-up on a cold day.Halfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167481543065324357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-64308216701709420072013-03-13T18:33:53.748+00:002013-03-13T18:33:53.748+00:00One (slightly potty?) suggestion: take your own &...One (slightly potty?) suggestion: take your own "emergency" teabag with you. Then you could slip it in to a weak pot and get decently strong tea - at very little (financial) cost to you. Doesn't get round the Instacool cup problem, though. (But this may be the equivalent of taking your own beer into a pub to top up any short measures, something I would certainly not advocate.)Halfiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167481543065324357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-43479040641209331862013-03-13T18:26:31.306+00:002013-03-13T18:26:31.306+00:00Hoorah Sarah!

I would say Bravo, but it wouldn't be British would it, and we are talking about tea.<br /><br />I now boycott BHS and other establishments who don't offer a tea pot. I really can't understand why, when they can take an inordinate amount of time and trouble to produce froffee coffee (whilst also producing a huge queue delaying would be tea drinkers) when they can't be bothered to produce a decent pot of tea.<br /><br />Good on ya, more power to your teapot!<br /><br />Chris http://nbwrensnest.wordpress.com/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087283544997030082.post-89482176404036537542013-03-13T18:21:58.860+00:002013-03-13T18:21:58.860+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
