Hello Nicey,
Last night while driving to work and listening to B.B.C Radio Wales I heard about your wonderful website during a programme about computers called Mouse Mat. So in work this morning I checked it out and was delighted by your reviews. However I notice you haven't reviewed the very best biscuit of all. The Tesco Finest Triple chocolate giant biscuit. It can be found in the bakery department. They are cooked in store every day and if you are lucky you might just catch them while they are warm. V. good.
Keep up the good work, you really are providing a vauable service to the British biscuit munching community. I say go global!

Nicey replies: Sarah,
Glad to hear you heard me on Welsh radio. I did that interview last week on the great 'perfect cup of tea day'.
As for giant cookies we have skirted that whole area for too long now, at some point soon we will dive in.

I too was told about the 'money' in your tea by my mother, whilst growing up in the 50s. She came from Dublin so maybe it's a celtic thing? She was a vigorous stirrer 'though (as I later came to be in the days when I took sugar with it) so maybe this is how the air became incorporated! I reinvested all the money I made in one of those aerolatte froth whisk things, which, although great for milky coffee, don't work in tea.....
Regards,
Stella |

Absolutely true.I find that if I collect the bubbles the money does come in. I started doing this way back when I started work. It is a regular occurrence for me, usually the money arrives in my bank account at the end of each month. I have documentary evidence to prove this.

Well, it's not as interesting, but possibly more useful:
My gran pointed out to me when I was young that if you had made several cups in one go and have forgotten which ones you put sugar in, they will be the ones with bubbles in the centre. It's been so long since I had sugar in tea, I haven't tested it recently. Maybe this requires further investigation.

At first mention of the 'money' in tea, I didn't twig until I read Karen's e-mail. My family also hails from Newcastle and I remember when I was quite young trying to catch the penny shaped/sized island of frothy milky stuff, created in a milky coffee when you stir it, on a spoon, all in one, in order to drink it and thus come to good fortune. I can only assume that this originated from a tea thing because all my Geordie relatives drink tea, only tea, and by the bucketful!
Incidentally, I now believe that it is completely impossible to catch all the froth in one, some always gets away (damn that surface tension) and thus the tea gods will never have to shower anyone with riches, cunning eh?
