well in 4 years of living in UK I have yet to come across a cup of tea that
Was made with real tea, not shity bags
Actually wasn't overbrewed, bitter and too hot to drink

And in those 4 years, it never occured to you that it might have been your perception of good tea that was wrong, not everyone else's ?

juan, surely your politics preclude you drinking real tea......

After all, proper tea is theft...

well no more than crap tea CFH, so at least if you have to steal someone's legacy make sure it's actually something good.

Have you tried drinking tea in l'Hexagone, juan?

I can guarantee that you can get better coffee in the UK than you can get tea in France!

The exact same thing happened to me today.
Returning from our hols in Scotland we stopped at a service station and I asked for a black coffee, and was then asked if I wanted milk in it!!!

If you ask for an espresso you get the real coffee. If you want a mug of dirty water - Starbucks/Costa/Coffee Republic/Nero will take your cash.

Or your normal wake up call 🙂 The coffee shop at my new job is pretty good and they know that I normally want and extra shot or two 🙂
