Matt's Finest - The Marks & Spencer CD

[paul jh]

Marian et al - We are definitely into tea in the US. We sometimes have a proper English tea at 4:00 in the afternoon at work. We haven't done Elevenses yet (too close to lunch). I love Yorkshire tea, but it's too bulky to take back in my suitcase. So I buy Twinings, Lipton, or whatever is on sale in the US---in black, green, chamomile, and mint. I'm not too fond of chocolate and only tried Cadbury's on a British Airways flight. Please don't get me started ... I don't need another item to bring back! I would like to visit Cadbury World one day.

Michael et al -- I see that M & S has restocked the Matt Monro CD. A few months ago, it wasn't on the website; I checked quite thoroughly. I think I get 8 blades for 6.49 pounds at Boots or Superdrug. I consider that quite reasonable, but I would pay even more for them! Disposable razors don't work properly on my face.

I like my tea strong Marian, but quite milky

Mike the M&S CD offer isn't buy 3, get 1 free which = 4, it is buy 3 for the price of 2 = 3

Hi Robert, I shall definately remember how you like your tea! You would not have liked it in that hotel in Brussells --that's for sure

It was more like strong water with milk---ugh !!!

Marian

How right you are Robert - meant to say buy 3 and get one of them free.

Marian - how are you? Not sure I like the sound of tea in Brussels!

[DutchDean]

Milk in tea is something the Dutch do not understand, that really is a British thing. Here they call normal tea 'English Breakfast Tea' but it is very week and you drink it black. A bit strange at first but you get used to it, I cannot drink British tea now as it is far to strong. That I don't miss.
Glad the M&S CD is available - it is great CD, I also recommend the Tesco one which has a couple of tracks never available to CD for less than 4 quid! Thanks to Marian I was finally able to buy these CD's as both companies don't ship outside the UK.

Hi Mike--I'm fine--good to hear from you again.

And Dean--I was glad to be able to help!

[ROBERT M.]

Do they bother selling milk in Holland

[Lena & Harry Smith]

Marian, My niece lived in Brussels for Six years, and many of the postcards received from her bore the picture of the statue of "The Manequin Pis"
They certainly did have a reputation for not knowing how to make a cup of tea out ther.
No connection of course

[Marian]

We visited Brussels and saw the Manequin Pis and I remember being disappointed at what a small statue he is..
