Quick question

[Grizelda]

It's just soap. Anyone (unless they're allergic) can wash all of themselves with soap and water. Top to toe. PS. I drink Yorkshire Gold tea. I think it's the best. I'm a Londoner.

Instructions on how to use.


How to use:

• Lather the desired amount in your hands, or use a washcloth with warm water and cleanse your intimate area
• Rinse thoroughly and pat dry
• For external use only

I can do that with a bar of normal soap and a flannel. No sh*t Sherlock.

Yes, but it hydrates your microflora

Brillo Pad & a dash of Vim does the job

My eyes are watering at the thought of that

Well, we can certainly see what sort of things you have woken up with on your mind this fine morning, Merryone. Are you going to be publishing these personal musings every Tuesday? If so, I’ll make a diary note.

Quick answer: no.
If my family found out I'd paid that sort of money, I'd be carted off for a GP assessment. (Mind you, some of them are from Yorkshire, which accounts for a lot, including undrinkable builders' brew tea. None of them will let me make them a cup of tea, they are that dedicated to the cause).

Gotta make good brew in Yorkshire. My father in law's tea could melt a spoon.

I am in Yorkshire, so ... That accounts for a lot of what? . I make a lovely cup of tea I will have you know.

I'm South Yorkshire a dee dah born and bred

Sharing my teabag with a few chosen friends or relations is always done in a caring sort of way. My relatives react by posting cruel and deeply wounding comments next to photos of my brew.

Do you use a tea pot?

 

[donna255]

As a teenager, I remember my mum saying to my dad, "Is that a fresh tea bag?" My dad was famous for reusing the same teabag numerous time during the day, yes, one tea bag went in the tea pot a day and that was it.

Do you use a tea pot?

Yes, one teabag is ample for one teapot. You can add more water if you have more people. If I'm just making for myself, a quick teabag dip is all I need.

When I was young I remember my dad making tea in teapots, then putting it on the hob to trottle away. Result was very stewed treacle coloured tea. Was not very nice but that's the way he liked it.

Mum only ever used loose tea leaves, even in her 80’s. I can remember the tea pot and the strainer being used even when she was the only one having a cup of tea. She always set it out on a tray with a milk jug and sugar bowl, even though she didn’t take sugar.

I don’t drink tea very often but, when I do, it’s either ginger and lemon (no milk or sugar) or Yorkshire tea (no milk or sugar.) I’m not from Yorkshire (I’m a Southerner) but my partner is a born and bred Yorkshire guy, so I guess that’s why I prefer Yorkshire tea to other brands. A bit of solidarity.

We used to use the forerunner of teabags, a metal tea infuser, similar to this - - -

Did your Mum have a tea caddy and a metal round-bowl short-handle spoon to scoop the tea leaves from the caddy ?

You’ve got it in one. She also favoured a tea cosy on the pot.

I remember my nan had one of those "new fangled" plastic tea leaves dispensers on the kitchen wall.
It's that and the sweetie tin hidden behind the curtains that always comes to mind when I think of her.

We didn't have anything as fancy as that, but I remember tea was always made in a stainless steel teapot with a wooden handle (seen the exact teapot on Bargain hunt a few times) and we just poured it through a strainer, after warming the pot first and letting it stand for what seemed like forever! The strainer we used was also stainless steel and came with a little dish that collected all the spillage. The tea was stored in a plastic caddy with tea printed on it, I remember the plastic scoop that was inside. Lest I forget the sugar bowl with a hinged lid, stainless steel of course, I'd get told off for opening and closing the lid and using it as a talking puppet. I couldn't imagine dealing with all that faff nowadays! Bung a tea bag in a mug, and pour boiling water over it. We had a tea cosy, that I'd liked to wear on my head as a child and egg cosies too!
Still wouldn't spend £40 to keep my downstairs area fresh though!
