Alison J. Anderson Tim Tam vs Penguin Review	Thank you for the fun site and I enjoy errr borrowing your great pictures to use as wallpaper on my work PC. Hang on a minute while I put down my cup of tea and get all outraged. I also lurk on a travel bulletin board. On that site I have made an offer of a political nature: "I promise to send a packet of Tim Tams to any regular on this site who votes against Bush in the 2004 election" It has been a huge success. Tim Tams have an aura of mystery for my US cyber friends and they are oft talked about in revered tones. I have had Canadians offering to emigrate, Republicans thinking of converting, I even had an offer to have a website built to take my offer global - that seemed tiresome. The boyfriend did point out that I was offering gifts for votes and was probably breaking some law in America but I pushed on bravely from the relative safety of Australia. Then in February I discovered to my shock and horror that the US Customs service has put in place a ban on packaged foods being posted to the USA. There is a transition period after which anyone will need FDA Approval to send in even a single serve of Biscuits. This announcement was made AFTER I started offering Tim Tams for votes..... When does the transition period end and FDA regulation kick in you might ask??? Just before the US Federal Election. I tell you Tim Tams must have those pesky US Government types very worried! Ally
Chris May	Dear Nicecupoftea... I wonder if you remember a biscuit called, I think, the Misbit? It was round, had irregular shaped holes and a slight cornflake taste. It might have been made by McVities, and I seem to remember it being around at much the same time as the Jasper. I'd be grateful for any news. Thank you for your excellent website. Chris May
	Nicey replies: Nope.
Anne Till Digestive Review	Ive been sitting here for the past 2 hours (its about 5 am) in my cold basement somewhere in Canada, surfing the net, really needing a nice cup of tea.  Not residing in this country very long and very dubious of what resembles tea over here, last week I ordered a tea with milk from a local Coffee-Time.  My husband brought it to me, I sipped it and said "does this tea taste like ****?" - vaguely  reminiscent of that famous  Austin Powers sketch.  My long-suffering hubby duly returned the luke- warm sludge, only to discover that the server had placed the tea-bag into the cup and filled it up with black coffee! p.s.  the only English biscuit I can find in my local store is McVities Digestive (plain) - thank heavens for small mercies. But it doesn't quite taste the same????? Anne - Toronto
Natasha	Hello from Nova Scotia Canada! I was just writing to you regarding the e-mail you received, in which the writer spoke of bubbles in tea being called "money bubbles". All my life, each time I poured the tea in front of my mother, she would say "Look! Bubbles! That means you'll have money coming in!" We made it into a game and the trick was to learn to pour the tea for maximum bubblage. According to my Mum, my grandmother always used to say "Drink your bubbles dear!" to her when she was a child. I've also heard that bubbles in your tea means someone's talking about you. My mother is British but grew up in Wales during the war. She thinks it's an old Northern Wales saying. Natasha
Sarah Derryman	Dear Nicey and The Wife and the Younger Members of Staff, Now that everyone seems to be jumping on the "sop" bandwagon, are you going to have to come up with a "sop" icon?  Personally I find the idea of sop in all it's guises a rather loathsome one (particularly the latest regarding fried breakfasts - yuk), but I am sure there may be some people out there who want to search for sop-related stories using your excellent icon search facility - maybe to get ideas for new sopping experiences, the poor misguided fools...  If you ask me they're all just abusing a perfectly decent cup of tea and I'm sure even Mrs Doyle wouldn't approve (oh g'wan, y'will...) Yours very not-soggily, Sarah Derryman P.S. Love the new dunking icon - it still wouldn't make me want to put soggy things in my tea though...
	Nicey replies: I think we'll leave 'Sop' to the equally excellent but no so pretty text based search. Anyhow lets all have a rousing post Friday lunchtime 'Hoorah!' for the new Dunking icon, how did we get by without for so long?
