Just had a lovely holiday on Arran with extended family. However one habit of theirs puzzles me – tea bags.
When I make tea. I put a tea bag in the mug, add hot water, leave to stew for the right time, then squeeze out the tea bag with the teaspoon and put it in the bin. Simple.
They do all that, apart from the last stage. Instead, the tea bags go in a saucer next to the kettle, in the sink, in an old pasta sauce jar on the shelf, pretty much anywhere apart from the bin.
Why? They don’t seem to get reused, just sit there until I crack and put them in the bin.
