    After seeing Nobby's post on the Joke thread about the PG Tips adverts I thought this would be a valuable piece of research, so put the kettle on, get out your dunking biscuits and give this survey your consideration.

    Only one vote option though...what if I like Earl grey, milk in last, no sugar, but also like herbal bags depending on my mood (or caffeine requirement)?

    Anyway the best brew is when someone else makes it for you Especially without even needing to be asked! x

    tea and coffee were only invented to give you something to drink when it's too early to open a bottle of wine..... you know that dead time between 8am and 8:15

    My dad grew up in Morecambe. For him and mom its milk in first. For me its dunk a bag and milk in after! Of course, what is really important and what you are all forgetting is the cookie you dunk in the tea for full enjoymant!

    Happy dunking!

    Teabag and sugar in first, then the water, then the milk last. Only in the afternoons and early evenings though - in the mornings it's coffee for me. And later evenings it's beer. Or whisky. Or both... h34r: :P :lol:

    And thinking drink, I'm starting a related poll...

    Bleeerugh! Tea!

    I'm a coffee gal myself and for those of you who like to be bored to death I have done research in the history of tea and coffee in the UK and *gasp* even have a website about it. Did you know the the British introduced Coffee to the Americans?

    Its interesting to note that people prefer to put milk in afterwards - when I make tea for people I put it in first. Thanks to MrsB's extensive research I shall now switch

    Shhhh! Dont tell anyone but I have been known to drink green tea.....

    I always put the milk in last after the tea has been left to stew a bit and get nice and strong
