Dear Nicey,
I would like to reassure Mark Pennington about drinking tea in the USA. I have quite a lot of male English friends out here who drink tea, and none of them are 'special chaps'. It seems that this is acceptable to the American public because they are British. In fact it seems to be assumed that all British people, regardless of their sex, will drink tea - In an "Oh, your British, so you'll be having tea right?" sort of way. No need to think your masculinity will be slighted by your tea drinking. At least not in Chicago....

Dear Nicey & Wifey,
On the subject of Oatcakes, in the North Staffordshire area, 'Oatcakes' are a peculiar, entirely non-biscuit entity, being more of an oaty flavour pancake which can be eaten with various savory fillings including an entire cooked breakfast if you're particularly brave (or so I've been told). Being from Cheshire, I have sampled an oatcake when they've escaped from the Potteries but if any North Staffs NCOTAASD readers would like to tell us more!! The best sort of tea to serve them with is probably the strong 'oily' variety rather than anything fancy like Earl Grey or Darjeeling.

| Nicey replies: You can only have respect for something that wears an entire cooked breakfast as a garnish.

Dear Nicey
My new wife is from the Highlands of Scotland. As we live in the south of England I like to make her feel at home by putting the used tea bags in the toilet cystern to recreate that peaty colouration in the water.
She loves it.

Hello Nicey,
What a great web address and idea for a website. I haven't been able to look through all of it yet. However I must take you to task over an absolutely vital "ingredient" in a nice cup of tea that is missing from your title. It is the to do with temperature, specifically the word Hot !
A nice cup of tea must be Hot, Hot, Hot !
Thus "NiceHotCupofTeaandAsitDown.com" should be your web address. There's nothing worse than luke warm tea....... Ahhh! Just thought I'd mention it.
Bye for now,
Michael...

| Nicey replies: Good point but the word nice mandates that the tea is 'correct' in the eye of the beholder, and in your case as with many others is hot.
