Those in hotter climates will regard us as terrible wimps but we are not accustomed to the sudden warmth. ...
Cold tea? Are you INSANE, woman??
Is bad language allowed in the sauna?The bath-house in the city I used to live in would sell litre bottles of it to take into the sauna (cranberry, peach and strawberry being the most popular). When you're swearing out your soul, they certainly hit the spot.

I must be dead common, me.It's still a class-based joke in Britain that the more 'common' a visiting tradesman is the, more milk and sugar they'll expect in their mug of Rosie.
I think being in a sauna would definitely make me swear.I could fix that typo, but I rather like the image of lying on my back and cursing as I sweat.
I don't take either, I must be dead posh!It's still a class-based joke in Britain that the more 'common' a visiting tradesman is the, more milk and sugar they'll expect in their mug of Rosie.

Twinings Extra Strong Breakfast Tea reaches an acceptable strength if you leave it long enough. I favour lots of milk.
I like coffee (also black) strong.It's certainly true that people tend to make black tea and coffee too strong - it's a weird psychological effect like the way some videogames of old would panic you into swerving into the path of your enemies. Or is it? Maybe I need a cup of tea and a sit down...
Love tea of all sorts.
My Eastern European colleagues have got me hooked on Melissa Tea- a most delightful brew.
I buy English Breakfast & Assam bags from Twinings. The latter I usually order from the UK, but the former is on sale all over the world.
The anomaly I've found, however, is that at some point they started adding a strength score out of five on the packaging and I've seen identically packed boxes rated at 3/5, 4/5 and 5/5--can they really be selling so many different strengths? I always assumed that they sourced the same leaves (or very similarly produced ones) from year to year.

He looks like he could do with a cuppa.Just the thing to have on hand if a super-creepy Martin Sheen comes knocking at your door.
