I love tea. If the Church of Folgers starts a war, I'll help you win.

Tea please. Strong, but with lots of milk, and one Candarel (I'm diabetic, ok?). None of this yuppie Earl Grey bollocks - Tetley is fine.

Malted Milk biscuits are nice, particularly for those of us who like to remember dentally editing the pictures as a child :wink:

Two wise comments from Mr Jo Burt of MBUK's "Mint Sauce" cartoon strip:

"Does your tea sometimes smell of garlic?"

"Living on dreams and custard creams....."

Mr Burt is of the opinion that mountain biking is all about the wide open countryside, cake shops and cups of tea. A sound fellow, I'm sure you'll agree.

I'll drink tea if it's the only thing available, but I'd much rather have coffee.

Sounds like a thoroughly sensible chappie :D

The Malted Milk biscuits - yes I remember those, not had them for a while. There were some other ones a bit like them with people doing different activities on them, cycling, running etc. (to all those are who are doubtful, I kid you not) Can't remember the name of them...I wonder if they still make 'em?

And also, of course, there are the sublime Jammy Dodgers.
Wagon Wheels...have either got smaller or I've got bigger so they look smaller. :lol:

I drink tea with half and half. No sugar.

The best cheap tea is at London Drugs. $2.49 for a 100 bags.

Ooh, I don't remember those!

There's a British comedian (I think it is Peter Kay) who reckons HobNobs are the only biscuits which can be successfully dunked in tea. However I'd like to add "Anzac" biscuits to the list - they're nice, and they don't fall to bits easily :)

Found 'em! Fox's sports biscuits...well, I googled 'em, and it just goes to show that you can find anything and everything on the web. I also found the biscuit poll. Good to know these important matters aren't getting overlooked.

The church of garlic and all its other sects have proposed a peace-treaty between them and the church of routemasters and all its other sects.

Thoughts?
