It is way too early in the morning to laugh as hard as I just did.

Get outa here. I love tea.

I drink loose leaf and builder tea. Each have their place.

I've had the same problems. I suspect the name being short and common in other words leads to the suggests getting buried out by other communities.

I might see if expanding the display name helps.

No, it is not. Glad we got that sorted.

Hot leaf water has its uses. As a social ritual it helps break up that initial moment of awkwardness when guests arrive.

I kinda get what you mean. Everytime someone comes over I always offer some cofveve. I never used to but I started after I began watching the sopranos, they always offer a pot. Just because Tony is a murdering thug doesn't mean he's impolite to house guests.

I drink loose leaf tea at home because it's easier to prepare, just add hot water and it's ready.

isn't that all tea

Hang on, I’m old but I’ve always thought it was vile.

Millennial here, not a fan. Like, I'll drink it if I'm outside and freezing cold, but otherwise I'd rather just have a water.

I don't dislike tea, but I don't love it either. Just don't really see the point, I don't need the caffeine.

Years ago I did drink tea, (but mostly cos everyone else was) but it was never typhoo. Never even tried it. Yorkshire gold was my brand.

I’m 38, I’ve never liked tea.

there are so many flavours to explore with tea and tisanes.

I like tea but I drink coffee, and my partner, while not British, does drink Lady Grey.

We were a country of coffee drinkers before we were a country of tea drinkers.

Millennials just keep killing stuff.

What the fuck you on about? We're the old people now!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Yeah, true. But that won’t stop the media blaming us for killing shit we can’t afford.

We’re old, but we’re still poor. Coming of age during a once-a-century recession followed by crippling austerity measures does that to a generation.

We're getting to the age where our generation will start controlling the media, then we can start pushing the blame on the real culprits, Gen Alpha!
