Great British Tea
Jump to: Newest in thread
Tom just back from a foreign wedding and missed his favourite cup of English tea. They only served UHT milk with their tea and coffee and even worse, the orange juice for some reason is just squeezed from fruit and no pasteurization, added vitamins or sugar. Tom avoided that too. |

"First time I've ever seen anyone complain that there orange juice is freshly squeezed 
*their
Sorry had to correct myself! Ew"
I do like freshly squeezed, unbastardised juice, but I also don't like the bloody bits (a very unfortunate incident on a 13 hour plane journey and the smell of the "breakfast" put me off  ) |

These Europeans seem to sabotage coffee and sacrifice orange juice. In a hot country bacteria dreads rapidly. Orange juice needs to be pasteurized and whiw they are at it then add essential vitamins and sugar to make it more palpable |

Imaging making orange juice from oranges. Damned savages. |

"Turmeric tea, just don't spill it "
I first read this as "Don't spit it!"
I'm a European, living in Europe. If I make my own tea, no milk of any sort goes anywhere near it.
The coffee is good when out and about, but again, no milk, thank you very much!!!

Tom Tom must think more deeply!
I have two nationalities. I’m British and Irish, but these days I only hold an Irish passport.
But even so, Tom must surely know Brexit was the withdrawal from a Union. (It’s the U in EU). The UK did not magically relocate nor declare itself a new and separate continent.
The UK remains firmly in Europe.

Yes Glyn .. Tom ate something called Moules Marniere once with French Fries which are like our chips only skinnier so absorb more fat. They served it with 'garlic bread'. Tom was quite surprised. Bread and Garlic Butter. Please try it Glyn. You would not think it goes together but it does and was blooming lovely and you can mop up the juices in your bowl with it. |

I think people were fighting for themselves Tomskie!
In fact now I think on it more, weren’t the English fighting for the Welsh? How will we ever know???
Either way, thank goodness the Russians beat the Germans and the Americans nuked the Japanese into submission. The Brits were fucked otherwise.

The Welsh fought with the English at Rorke's Drift.
At that time, the regiment was an English regiment, The 24th Regiment of Foot. It didn't become the South Wales Borders until a couple of years later.
"Of the 122 soldiers of the 24th Regiment present at the Battle of Rorke's Drift, 49 are known to have been of English nationality, 32 were Welsh, 16 were Irish, one was a Scot, and three were born overseas. The nationalities of the remaining 21 are unknown." (Wikipedia)
Zulu is a great film and two of my grandfathers served in SWB during the second world war. But at the time of that battle, it wasn't a particularly Welsh regiment, despite what popular culture would have you believe.
Tomble, you normally do better research than this! It'll end up all over the Fab news!

I've had Moules marinières and agree it's a delicious dish. It's the national dish of Belgium too.
