Not a big fan of tea but I will drink it. A nice big strong cup of freshly ground coffee hits the spot for me.

Also nothing worse than going to some bodies house/a client and they make the crappiest cup of coffee/tea. Some people just can't do it properly.

I love a nice cup of coffee too but only drink it as a very occasional treat as the older I get the less it agrees with my stomach.

Got to agree with this.

Tea is the Devils own work and drinking milk - juice made for baby animals by animals?
No thanks!

Yorkshire Tea???? FFS, how many bloody tea plantations are then in Yorkshire? It's crap, just like Tetleys and PG TIps.

If you want to drink real tea try a properly infused cup of Assam or Darjeeling. No, do not walk the tea bag trough the cup, do not saturate it with full cream milk and do not wreck it with sugar. Infuse it for 5 minutes properly preferably using leaves not bags and add a little skimmed milk if you must.

Given your background I am disappointed in your lack of support for my tea snobbery

TBH I do support your tea snobbery. Pretty cool preference for real tea.

I love a good cuppa after a day at work. Well, before and during as well.

If I make a cuppa properly, I say milk second.

I'm a seconder too. But some people insist it's 'correct' to put it in first. Often wondered why, so Googled it and found this page:

'Very interesting' (imagine it being said with a slightly adenoid tone)

I have it with milk, but I'll still go back and drink it if it's gone cold.

I would agree with most that the milk goes in second.

Worst thing you can do in an office environment is be good at making tea.
