Cheap labor retards human progress. Also every crime, accident or liability committed by the foreigner, charge the traitor who brought them in. Real costs of labor, not the public subsidizing their profits. S/F....Ken M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar first, then bag, then hot water (poured on the bag, which is summarily beaten into submission 10 times with spoon), add milk ( for me just enough to make it change colour), then stir, et voila, nectar of the gods in a cup. Oh, I should say, make it Yorkshire tea. Imho It tastes the best, and we have to sustain those Yorkshire tea plantations somehow. What kind of unBritish barabarian are you? Tea is made in a tea pot, properly warmed beforehand. Water just boiled from a kettle with loose-leaf tea or decent tea bags if loose leaf is not available,. Milk in the cup before the tea, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Galbraith Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Pots are an invention of the middle class oligarchy. Good working class chaps make in a mug. Milk last, this is the hill I die on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't want to pay, they are rude, and their workplaces are a shithole. Basically, you get what you pay for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can reconvert it in the microwave, using low power and/or short bursts. You're not trying to boil it, just persuade it back into the better state. When Rick says his wife adds the tea last, does that mean a teabag into iced water, or hot tea (um, solution/tisane/tincture/whatever?) added to the hot water? Per wife, hot tea last ;} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the south, below the fall line, sweet tea made with super saturated sugar water is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 That is how most of it is made, a truckload of sugar, and a spot of tea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my annual trip to Florida, I buy a jug of sweet tea and mix it with bourbon. I have an insulated container that I sip out of over the 6-8 hours we spend sitting on the beach. Somedays I have to refill it at lunch time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrustMe Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 One wonders why Keir would want to associate with leader who went so right wing it was borderline fascist. So much so that her own party had to get rid of her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunday Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Thatcher likely a Fascist? Only by the criteria stating "all those that are against Communism could only be Fascist", perhaps. Please do not channel Ken Loach. Or Scargill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrustMe Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 She wanted AIDS victims to be sent to concentration camps, I remember her news articles in the Sun newspaper. She was actively anti-gay. She brought in the horrible Poll Tax system that caused the worst riots in a generation throughout the country in 1990. She destroyed the manufacturing industry purely for anti-union politics reasons. She doubled unemployment in her first term in office. Only her victory in the Falklands war allowed her a second term. Her economic poilicy's resulted in "boom and bust" throughout the 1980's That's just the couple of things I can think on top of my head. She may of appeared good to people from abroad but not to me. I'm sure people in the US have things to talk about to your leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunday Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 From Spain, another batch of deranged Labour PMs, plus some other Tory PM like Heath would have mean we would be able to get Gibraltar back. Unions received their due. Look up the Winter of Discontent. Also, perhaps she was the first major politician to introduce Global Warming, another minus. But from that to consider her almost Fascist, there is a long way. Of course, I would prefer to rely on the knowledge of the locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
