I have a chum by the name of Neville who invented an ideal accompaniment for a nice cup of tea or when you've had a skinfull down the pub - either is fine (actually I find a nice cup of tea does the job if you've over done it on the beer). It consists of a packet of Revels - you know the little multiflavoured chocolate covered sweets? These are placed in a toasted sandwich or Breville maker once the peanut ones have been removed (you can tell these as they are a bit nobbly and don't toast well). Do not butter the outside as some people do as this renders the sandwich too sickly. Hey Presto - Neville's Revel Breville.
This does not taste nice with Mars Bars and of course would not rhyme. |

Nicey,
Wouldn't it be a nice idea for McVities or another biscuit superpower to produce an advent calendar with a different biscuit behind each window? Of course the size of the calendar would have to be increased somewhat from the norm, but what better way to enjoy the festive season than an enforced sit down with a biscuit and therefore, naturally, a cup of tea.
Xmas regards,
Jim.

| Nicey replies: That's an inspired idea Jim. I don't think they would have to be too huge, and maybe next year we could make a set of things to print out to assemble your own advent calendar. A Rover assortment tin should provide the perfect filling. Yes it all definitely makes sense. |

Your bloke off to the Antarctic should take ginger biscuits and nibble them slowly to avoid seasickness. Well they are generally suggested to help avoid morning sickness so they might work. Pregnant women are told to lie in bed whilst partner brings in nice cup of tea and a couple of ginger nuts to start the day off well. Let's face it any day that starts with tea and biscuits in bed can't be all bad can it.
cheers

| Nicey replies: Sound advice Paula, I know the Wife would agree with you on the whole tea/staying in bed thing. |

Best website I've ever seen, ta. But can you do something to STOP herbal
tea? It is clearly wrong. How anyone can claim that (a few nettles) + (some hot water) = tea I don't know. If it isn't good enough for the PG Tips
chimps it isn't good enough for me (although I don't really know how chimps feel about nettles, to be honest). |
| Nicey replies: I think herbal tea is probably its own worst enemy, camomile especially, so I don't think we have to worry too much about trying to stop it. |

Nicey, firstly may I say thank you for your link to Yorkshire Tea, I have had a
good sit down since the postman knocked, only once though. Anyway, to that end I have a question that you may be able to answer. Should I put the milk in before the water or after? So far I have been a 'milk after' person, but I was wondering if other readers could shed a little light on this most pressing subject, after all, to have a nice cup of tea and a good sit down I want all the facts.
Many thanks

| Nicey replies: Well you know I don't like to make edicts about tea. However, in this instance the rules are quite simple milk in last unless you are having your tea in a cup and saucer and have made a pot, in which case it is considered best to put the milk in first.
You can put it in first for other methods but it is considered technically wrong. However that may be how you prefer it. Tony from the Fig fest likes it milk first and accepts that he is technically wrong on this one. |
