| Smart Set commented on 09.27.05 | | I always say herbal tea tastes "bloody herbal" (horrible) in a Bristol accent and my friends know they have to laugh. |

| Nancy Dumpling commented on 09.27.05 | | Fruit teas always smell nice but taste of nothing to me.... |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | Well herbal doesn't bother me if it's really herbs, like peppermint, chamomile, rasberry leaves, whatever. It's when they start throwing the spice cabinet in there with it that I get turned off. That stuff is just not tea. I'd rather drink plain hot water. |

| Nancy Dumpling commented on 09.27.05 | | Oooooo. I hate fancy tea - herbal, fruit etc yuk. Dishwater. |

|
| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | Earl Grey seems so popular around here. Even my mother drank it. I never know what I'm going to encounter when someone asks me if I'd like a cup of tea. At best, it might be a cup of Earl Grey. At worst, all sorts of nasty concoctions full of cinnamon and orange peels and everything else. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.27.05 | | I couldn't stomach EG now. I only acquired the taste when I worked alongside a team of people who all drank it and, crucially, the mugga tea was made *for* me. |

| Nancy Dumpling commented on 09.27.05 | | Yorkshire tea is the best of the "normal" teas I find. I'm with you on Earl Grey Rebecca - I don't mind it but it is like getting a mouth full of perfume. |

| Smart Set commented on 09.27.05 | | Sorry, I'm going on about them too much. Their big hit with a bullet was If I Had a Photograph of You, and I thought it was good, being in a somewhat infatuated state at the time. Bye. |

|
| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | Gotta go for now, bye. |

| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | Maybe. I was horrified to learn that the youth of Europe listened to Michael Jackson. It was so disillusioning. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.27.05 | | You probably heard A Flock of Seagulls then without knowing it. |

|
| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | I think I may have just found it online. 46 Norfolk Square, Paddington it says. It was many years ago, in the 80s. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | I don't remember where but it was a cheap area and I stayed at the St. George. We have an old hotel by that name here in Downtown Santa Cruz, you see. And I got great fish and chips at a hole in the wall around the corner from Victoria Station. |

| Smart Set commented on 09.27.05 | | Where in London? |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | I was in London and found the best tea at the corner store down from the B&B where I stayed...this was the sort of store that sells mainly liquor and razor blades but their cheap tea was better than a lot of tea you find here. |

| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | I like Japanese tea, I also like herb tea, but I have a special fondness for black tea with cream and buttery biscuits. Everybody raves about Earl Grey but I've never much cared for it (after all, it's flavored). |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.27.05 | | Ordinary PG Tips. Ceylon, I think the posh caffs call it. But in the past I've been through Earl Grey and jasmine phases. They're acquired tastes. I suppose you like Japanese teas, do you? |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | Oo, that sounds exactly perfect. What kind of tea do you like? |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.27.05 | | Fox's All-Butter Crunch, to be precise. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | A cup of tea sounds just lovely right about now. With some little biscuit thingys. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.27.05 | | I knew you hated yellow houses - you said so the other day. It's not my cup of tea. My cup of tea is right beside me as I type. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | I like the roof though. |
|
|
| Rebecca commented on 09.27.05 | | No, sorry but I find it abhorrent. |
|
|
| Smart Set commented on 09.27.05 | | D'ya like the yellow house, Rebecca? |
