#9250 The trouble with tea is that originally it was quite a good drink. So a group of the most eminent British scientists put their heads together and made complicated biological experiments to find a way of spoiling it. To the eternal glory of British science, their labour bore fruit. To the eternal glory of British science their labour bore fruit. They suggested that if you do not drink it clear, or with lemon or rum and sugar, but pour a few drops of cold milk into it, and no sugar at all, the desired object is achieved. Once this refreshing, aromatic, oriental beverage was successfully transformed into colourless and tasteless gargling-water, it suddenly became the national drink of Great Britain and Ireland – still retaining, indeed usurping, the high-sounding title of tea.

George Mikes, back in the 50s.

Aye. But mine wasn’t a massive river thing, there was a line of cars / vans going through in front of me! Just that the Quattro probably sits a bit lower on the road with those low profiles…..

RIP Tom Voyce (Wasps and England rugby). Poor so-and-so was swept away in his car by floods. Look and learn, Mikey. I told you.
