scalding hot tea!

[squeequeg]

I like English Breakfast tea. I like making a pot of it when I start work on something, so that not only do I have caffeine with milk and sugar handy, but I also have to get up every so often to refill my cup. This is enough of a break to rest my hands and keep my butt from going numb, but not enough to break my concentration.

However, I have an unfortunate habit of forgetting how much tea we have. Which means that on occasion I'll pick up a box of English Breakfast tea without remembering that we already have some at home.

As a result, I have enough English Breakfast tea for several heart attacks' worth of actual English Breakfasts.

Anyone for a fried slice?

ohh me, me!

Of course, getting here would be a problem, and I just purchased a frightening amount of the leaf from the republic of tea, but no good tea should go to waste.

-ps, who is with you on the making a pot every morning thing.

Mmm...fried slice and soss and egg and tomato.

I don't make it every morning, though it'd certainly be healthier than the coffee I have on weekdays. But it's nice on weekends.

If I ever get my hands on some again, I shall bring you some tea from Canada. McMurchie's, I believe the name is. Delicious stuff!

But how will I have Canadian tea without Canadian bacon?

I love how the British omit identifiable characteristics from their names of food. "Fried slice" - of what? It's also a bad sign that one such non-description is spotted dick, which I can only assume is less offensive than an actual list of ingredients would be.

Bread, silly.

Fried in LARRRRRRRD.

You don't want to know what I just typed.

...So it seems that fleurdelis28 (who's a friend of a friend) is ALSO thinking of writing a "King Arthur incognito in the Battle of Britain". Should I tell her about The Welsh Squadron?

(sorry to publicize this, but I don't think I have your email...)

Go ahead and send her the link, but don't let it stop her from writing hers. I'm sure I wasn't the first to take that route. (And I'll look forward to seeing hers.)
