Heartland

... a cup of tea, at this particular moment in time.

So how do you take yours?
I go for minimum water-to-milk-and-tea ratio, and just show it the sugar.

Well I'm having one anyway. You're welcome to join me.

I don’t drink tea, but if you have any of the smokable kind…

I prefer coffee with sugar and milk.

Milky. I think there's one waiting for me down stairs atm, actually

A nice warm, cozy contrast to the flippin' thunder storm which is engulfing Merseyside currently

coffee black duvel in the evening or a good glas of wine

Rooibos: black, two sugars, in a mug.

Claire my lady - a new interpretation of the 5-o-clock-tea? Oh dear.

I'd like to join in for the 9-o-clock-tea, white, with sugar and accompanied with butterscones.

Don't always put milk in it : depends what kind of tea it is. If it's green, I just add a piece of sugar. If it's black (especially Earl Grey) then milk's okay. Usually don't take milk with flavoured tea, even if it's black. Well Earl Grey is bergamot-flavoured, but that's just the exception.
And when it's a cold, grey, and rainy day I may even take some honey with it.

An English bloke that doesn't drink tea... blimy!

No less than Merseyside deserves, at any time of the day / year (although obviously we'd give the HLers a 10 minute warning of any impending catastrophe). As for the topic...I was expecting HL to need a colonic irrigation or somesuch. Tea? Mmmmm, I love mine coffee-shaped.

Coffee. Black, strong, no sugar.

If you want milk and sugar, why'd you ask for coffee?

Assam. No milk, some sugar. I like the milk, but it turns me into something with a nasty smell to it..
I can´t go without my daily pot or two. My addiction started when I was only twelve, has lasted for 23 years now.
Oh, Hal: I´d say you have your roibush red?

Tea : No milk, 1 sweetex. Tea-bag only in for a bit so you can still see to the bottom of the cup.

I'm allergic to coffee.

Yorkshire Tea, (very white), 2 sugars, danke.

Assam/Ceylon blend, lemon juice (no milk!), little sugar.
Or China gunpowder (green) or Oolong (half-fermented), w/o anything of course.
Or heavy oil style coffee that eats the spoon, black w/ sugar.

excellent choice herr chairman. but it must be tricky to get hold of supplies out on the continent? tell you what, pm me with your address and i'll sort out a care package...

Any supermarket's Red Label teabag tea, dash of 1% milk, 2 sugars, slice of fruit cake that's more fruit than cake, pair o'slippers, and a black & white film on the telly on a wet Sunday afternoon - Reach for the Sky, Dambusters, Ice Cold in Alex, or an Ealing/Boulting Bros comedy.

I tip the coffee jar into the mug these days, teaspoons are for wimps


Although it may explain the irregular heartbeat

That's groovy. What I'm proposing at present is a nonstop, 24-hour-a-day tea-a-thon to be undertaken by the Heartlanders. In the wreckage of failed diplomacy, it's the safe and tasty alternative to nuclear war.

Dave's colonic idea is also good, why am I not surprised it was he who suggested it!?

As long as the tea is strong, very strong, warm and wet..no sugar and a minimum of milk, preferably goats milk or rice milk (lactose intolerant, what joy).

Tea must be made in a pot as far as I'm concerned. Just doesn't taste right to me if it isn't...doesn't mean I won't drink it, that's just the way I prefer it.

Coffee...black and 3-ish heaped spoonfulls of brown sugar or a healthy fortification of Irish Cream...strength - 50,000volts minimum otherwise it makes me sleepy.

"Lactose intolerance" is actually the majority condition for humans. Lactose tolerance has only evolved since we domesticated cattle, and only in some (mainly western European) populations.

wiki-clicky on lactose intolerance.

Domestic cattle??

*Imagines a cow bed and a cow bowl in the kitchen*

Wild cattle??

*Imagines Aurochs running around the local dairy farm*

Green tea steeped in brown rice please.

Tea for the ladies then,
but what will us men drink?

Just kidding ya pack of FUD's......
