Tea or Coffee or Tea and Coffee

[Seabag]

Tea for me first thing

Yorkshire Gold and a few poncey brews here and there

I'd been hammering the coffee for a few years, but just got fed up with the whole 'thing' around it, so i'm back with to the gentleness of tea

No sugar, but a little milk

[Loz]

Coffee in the morning, tea in the afternoon.

Gave up coffee yonks ago, so tea all day for me, with a couple of herbs in between.

Standby, this thread has the makings of classic EDF one-upmanship...you've been warned!

I like a nice cup of Tea in the morning

Just to start the day you see

And at half-past eleven

Well my idea of Heaven

Is a nice cup of Tea.

I like a nice cup of Tea with my dinner,

And a nice cup of Tea with my tea,

And when it?s time for bed,

There?s a lot to be said,

For a nice cup of Tea!s

Tea for me. Strong, dash of milk most of the day. Occasional coffee around eleven if it's milky and full of sugar.

ENDS

[????]

I'm (at least mentally) trying to get off Coffee and back on tea - but, as DC says, the booze is big hinderance for this plus a regular habit since I was 12 to break. But am enjoying my tea more so maybe can turn into Tony Benn yet :)

[Alan Medic]

Tea pre shower followed by a coffee afterwards before leaving for work. No sugar. Water at work.

[Jeremy]

Coffee with breakfast. Coke in afternoon. Beer with dinner.

[red devil]

Your afternoons sound fun Jeremy :)

????...you get withdrawl symptoms coming off coffee...headaches, irritability.

[????]

sounds like me normally

Tea, tea and tea - coffee rarely. Yorkshire used to do a Kenyan (Sainsburys had it) but can't find it now, I like Birchalls and like a dabble with a black Lapsang and a milky Chai now and then but good strong builders is my pref.

Like loose tea in a pot when I can be arsed (usually only Sunday morn): cup & saucer instead of mug, tea cosy, strainer, all the trimmings.

[Earl Aelfheah]

I have coffee in the morning and at various points throughout the day (too much probably). That said I do like a nice cuppa and actually it's probably a better brew to have first thing. I may try changing my routine so as to start with a char.

Clipper Tea is my preferred brand.

[Earl Aelfheah]

Oh, and milk no sugar if anyone's making?

[Salsaboy]

Tea upon waking. McDonalds latte in the car on the way to work. Tea for the rest of the day.

I was ready to reach for the heroin after playing a mere snippet of Dulwich Fox's Gracie Fields cat scraping down a blackboard screechings. I'm sure there must have been many a British Tommy during the second world war who hurled himself into German gunfire after being subjected to her tuneless warblings. As Spike Milligan was to note in his memoir Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall, "she's as funny as a steam roller going over a baby."

Anyway, I'm more or less moribund before two large mugs of coffee with my cigarettes in the morning after rising from my pit. Tea is for the afternoon, preferably with a couple of Hobnobs.

Oh and milk, there's an issue with milk in our house

For me Goats, but often rice milk too

And the cup, thin and preferably china

Then the water, filtered or bottled at as ofen as possible
