    You like your tea "Central European"? i.e. no milk (but should have a slice of lemon)

    only a little milk or lemon tea is nice --I used to drink black tea when I used to travel to India and Pakistan regular for work --as I used to have to go to the toliet a lot :eek: -why ? the buffalo milk that was used for tea-stop that and no problems -well not as bad :rotfl:

    question no one has asked why us 3 -harrowing,amistupid and me seem to have time to spend on the forum?

    my reason -self employed and I am at my desk with pc as 80% is e-mail based + this time of year always goes quiet,so I have time to drop in -thats my reason anyway.

    12. In Lincolnshire it's not safe to go out, cos there are people who quieten kids by taping their mouths shut (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lincolnshire/7776363.stm)
