Steve White	Hello! I stumbled across your website today, and while at first, I really couldn't be bothered looking, I felt this urge of curiosity creep in and thought, oh what the hell, what’s the worst that could happen? I actually quite liked your site, refreshingly amusing and fun to read after a mind bogglingly boring and repetitive day at my desk in work. I particularly liked your statement to spelling geeks! As to your tea policy, tad disappointed, tea experts you might be, but please please please, milk first, THEN tea (show some dedication to the cause and pour the water onto a RAISED tea bag (and your fingers while holding the tea bag aloft) or better still, just use leaf tea in a pot and strain it into a cup with milk already in it! Ceramic, before you ask. Canadians have a thing for using tin tea pots - philistines! ;-) Ok, not I am sounding like a geek (a mad tea geek, I can’t spell for toffee!). All fun aside, I really liked clicking through your website, it was written with great humor – thank you Good work, and keep it up! Steve
	Nicey replies: Fighting our corner I think pouring water over a tea bag to rinse the tea from it is definitely errant and slightly dangerous behaviour as tea needs steeping not washing. Other than that ideological difference we seem to be on good terms and thanks for dropping by. Nicey
Colleen Howe	Hi Nicey! Please - we need your help asap. We are sitting in the office with lots of different fruit tea options... We went for camomile, honey and vanilla and that has put us slightly over the edge! What is your take on fruit teas - where should we go from here?! Yours in anticipation Colleen
	Nicey replies: Our advice is to stop mucking about and have a proper cup of tea.
Robert Keppel	Enjoyed the website. Brought back some old memories of the biscuits i used to chomp on as a kid. Unfortunately i fear that you have neglected to review the 'lemon puff'. This biscuit was a one-of-a-kind, in so far as it had a distinctive crumbly texture and a lovely lemon tang. Perhaps you could add it to your fine list of biscuity treats. Ta.
	Nicey replies: Its not a an oversight that the Lemon Puff isn't in our BOTW list. We tried on several occasions to have a go at them but the modern day round Lemon Puff is literally a pale shadow of its former rectangular self. They were a bit on the nasty side basically.
Gemma Rollason Iced Gems Review	I couldn't help but notice some negative feedback on your site re Iced Gems, with particular complaint about their supposed 'undunkability'. I feel I must share my technique for eating Ied Gems, which I admit to having a fondness for. The dunker must hold the Iced Gem by the icing and then lower small rich tea type bit into their tea (granted, the mug or cup must be quite full for this to be done, but considering the limited soaking capacity of the rich tea part of an Iced Gem, this should not be a problem). You can then eat the tea-soaked biscuit part of the Gem, leaving yourself with a tasty icing morsel to enjoy - indeed, the inevitable soaking that some of the icing gets from its proximity to the hot liquid when using this method seems to result in more flavour being released from the icing - particularly so in the pink, purple and white variants. A word of warning - timing (as with most dunking methods) is of the essence here). Dunk the biscuit part of Iced Gem for too long and the icing part will dissolve and separate from the biscuit, which will end up sunk to the bottom of the mug, growing mushier by the minute. Gemma
	Nicey replies: Thank you Gemma, You have enriched all our lives with your insights. Perhaps one could spear the little blighters on a sturdy paper clip and go for complete immersion (entirely conjecture on my part).
Jane Kelly	Dear Nicey, My elderly neighbour has just given me a tin of Danish Butter Cookies, (made in Portugal) in exchange for looking after her cat Bingo over night, thus finally refuting your claim that they are only seen at Christmas. I wish they were – boring with that horrid trace of desiccated coconut. I have however given them to my Polish builders and they seem to like them – perhaps a new market has opened up there.
	Nicey replies: Hello Jane That's a feat of Europe wide cooperation that would bring a tear to the eye of even the most hardened Euro-crat. Are you sure your elderly neighbour didn't get them at Christmas? Or more likely she uses her extensive leisure time to frequent the sorts of shops that sell off dodgy Christmas tins of Danish Butter Cookies (made in Portugal) in mid March. A big Hoorah for your Polish builders and their biscuit eating ways! Wifey loves Poland and all its novelty Vodkas and Jaffa Cakes.
