Brenda puts the tea in first - she and her ilk refer to the rest of you as "Miffies"

I put the jam on first simply because I am not cleaver enough to do it the other way without causing a horrible mess.

Anyway, is there an etiquette (lord I hope that is somewhee near correct) for when sugar is added to tea?

My late maternal Grand-Mother was very specific about such matters. (she was VERY Victorian).

It was Scone, (as in own) !
Scone, (as in gone), would be reprimanded.

Tea :Tea into cup first.
Milk Second
Sugar last, (if required).

She was very proud of the fact that her mother witnessed the last public execution in London. Shows you just how right-wing she was !

So who was the last poor sod to get the old neck stretch?

Scone: don't have cream - problem solved - anyway, if you turn it upside down, it's in the other order, so who cares? If there were three fillings it would matter which one went in the centre... potentially

Tea: 1 milk 2 water/tea 3 sugar
but again I circumvent (another long word hooray) that by not having milk or sugar...

Are you a tea or coffee girl then?

Jam, then cream...

me, tea generally, like at work and stuff

nothing beats a cafetiere of the best coffee though

I can't drink instant coffee though, it's just not the same thing, how we can use the same word for two totally different things amazes me - so if in doubt I drink tea

no milk no sugar either way...

What about you Mr S?

Scone Lover · Post by **Scone Lover** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 2:24 pm

Mr S thats a new one on me. Not bad either.

I love a good coffee and hate a cheep instant. I wish I could afford a good coffee maker but there always seems to be something more important to buy first.

If I feel unwell, it MUST be tea. I can be very choosey about my tea though

Woolworth's cafetiere 1997 cost Â£6.99 still going strong... (famous last words, I know)

Scone Lover · Post by **Scone Lover** » Mon Oct 16, 2006 3:07 pm

Do you know, that is the one place I have never thought of checking! how dumb is that?

Am I going to get slaughtered for a comment like that?

Ruthie-Baby(old a/c) · Mon Oct 16, 2006 3:17 pm

what Woolworths? Can't go back to 1997 to get a sexy one with a blue plastic handle for the meagre sum of Â£6.99... but you should get one for about a tenner I expect...

A sexy purple one would be great

Should Mr P have another of his parties that you have all heard about now on here?
