I like the tea in the middle. I do not like the tea on the right.

The tea on the right was mine obvs…

Slightly disappointed by the pies, a bit too dry. I thought I had found ā€˜home made’ in a box and maybe I did, just slightly poorly home made. Pret’s were better…

Wishing your scissors a full and speedy recovery

WTF is going on with your tea? Did someone toss one off into it while you weren’t looking?

I think there are teabags still lurking in them both WITH THE MILK. Which is just unacceptable,

Agreed, unforgiveable. My (formerly better, now worse) half has also taken to leaving the bag in post milk. The world is going to hell.

I actually meant this jism infused confection.

Oh for fucks sake, we have been here before. I cannot risk taking the bag out and then over milking. Dash of milk, steep without stirring, quick waft to establish colour, remove bag. Done.

Won’t happen. Convection fail.
It’s exactly this kind of slapdash approach to established thermal currents that will arrest AMOC and make The Day after Tomorrow become a chilling reality.

She’s done something awful with witches, guaranteed. I saw her on the telly last week - she keeps looking younger every time. Like the Red Priestess bird on GoT.

That’s a studio shot. They don’t have that level of dusting in real life. I am eating one now so can guarantee this.

At the very least, you should rifle through the boxes in M&S to make sure you get a lightly dusted example. You can put what you think is a lightly dusted box to one side to act as your measuring stick. Then compare each box to that and pick the winner.

The pastry microwaves superbly. A big advantage.

The water cools too quickly in a cup. You need a teapot (with one of those in)

Indeed. It just saves using a strainer though
