Anyway, it's looking like I'll never see the greenest Canary Isle (named after dogs not birds btw) as it's going to break in two, one half falling in the sea and causing a MegaTsunami that will take out the Eastern Seaboard of the USA, this time a week on Friday.

Seen quite a few Presas about, they really are throwbacks... Either nicked off the Locals by the Romans or took there by them, either way they'll have bit many a Braveheart Jock's arse trying to jump over or pissing against Hadrian's wall I bet. Really interesting the history of The Canaries... From The Guanches, Romans etc. Last known place on the edge of the world when Columbus mooched off to India... Nelson lost his arm in the Battle of Tenerife - they reckon' they've still got the actual cannon that fucked him up. I always use the main city/town of the islands as a base, done the resorts and got bored as fuck...

little whitt Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 PG 2 bags a cup i like a strong brew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burndens Bogs Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I used to drink it with the teabag still in - brew it properly, add the milk at the right time, leave the bag in & the cuppa gets stronger as it goes down. Don’t do it anymore as i always felt a bit pikey/navvy if someone from outside my family saw me drinking it that way. Yorkshire teabags pour moi.

Smiley Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 (edited) Tend to have a lemon & ginger tea in the morning. And on the very odd occasion, a decaf tea with skimmed milk in the evening. Tea bag left to settle for 5 mins before the milk goes in. Was brought up on PG as a kid. The “Carling” of tea bags IMO. Much prefer Yorkshire. Lastly, my MIL often buys me the Pukka selection. Some good stuff in that box. Edited September 22, 2021 by Smiley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lt. Aldo Raine Posted September 22, 2021 Members Share Posted September 22, 2021 Lancashire Tea or Yorkshire Gold in my house. I once tried Rooibos tea (it's not actually tea but it's often considered to be). Fucking hell fire. The smell alone made me heave. I never actually got to the stage of tasting it and never will.

MancWanderer Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Lancashire tea if I can get it, Yorkshire tea is the standard, and if I’m over in Harrogate seeing relatives I’ll always buy a shit load of Betty’s loose leaf tea which is supreme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter White on Tyne Posted September 23, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Nope. Just seems to produce a decent brew. Discovered by accident when a work colleague had brought some back from ireland and id run out of me Yorkshire tea bags. Stuck with them since. Sell thompsons in Morrisons but not seem them elsewhere. ps Eamon Holmes told me they were the best 🧨 Edited September 23, 2021 by White on Tyne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 23, 2021 Author Site Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2021 Good stuff. Soft water here, though some prefer a harder water. Obviously, Yorkshire do tea for hard water areas, so presumably it does have an effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only liquids that've passed his greedy drink-chapped lips in ten years are; Complimentary Champagne and Wine, Jameson's and ice (when there's a free bar), Murphy's Stout (he rubbished Guinness and praised Murphy's on GMTV on no less than SEVENTEEN different occasions during that tournament both N. Ireland and Ireland qualified - they have since sent him 34 cases a year gratis for the plug), pôitin (his 'lifeblood') and his own piss - when he's been to drunk to stand and pissed in his pôitin tankard, forgot about it and gone back to being comatose before waking with the shakes and downing the tankard (thinking it to be pôitin). He hasn't had 'tea' since an 'incident' (severe pôitin withdrawal) on set of GMTV in 2008, and the mug actually contained Bailey's and a triple Jameson's...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted September 23, 2021 Author Site Supporter Share Posted September 23, 2021 Well, they replied. Straight bat answer, and no plans to offer decaf loose. No surprise, but if no one asks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youri McAnespie Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) I saw sommat about them 'washing' coffee beans to decaffeinate them and it looked grim, christ knows how they'd do it with leaves. This Colombian farmer had these drums of the extracted caffeine, looked like bing or whizz, he reckoned it sold for more (to 'energy' drink firms) than his coffee. The caffeine from the same amount of beans was worth more than the beans left (for decaff). If I have more than a single cup of tea after 9pm, guaranteed to be awake until 2am. The tannins do it. I can have an espresso at midnight and fast asleep by half-past. Edited September 23, 2021 by Youri McAnespie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can have an espresso at midnight and fast asleep by half-past. Just been looking for someone to supply loose decaf. A couple of places look promising though it's costly. One gives a lot of detail on the processes: either methylene chloride as stayed before, or another solvent (acetate of some sort); water extraction (some taste loss); or co2 extraction. They use the latter for safety and taste reasons, but presumably that's where the cost comes in. Thanks then to Kwasi for getting the fertiliser folk back making co2!
