Hi Shaun,
Having just read your article on Yorkshire Tea in the September Edge, I wanted to tell you that there really is no better tea - PG Tips tastes of perfume, Tetleys like wee (not that I have ever tasted any wee, you understand).
My dear old Nan used to swear by Yorkshire Tea and always drank it, as do I. In fact, I cannot drink any other and sadly carry bags around with me and rudely offer them to whomever I visit as no other tea will (ever) do.
Sainsburys used to sell boxes of extra strong Yorkshire Tea, but unfortunately not anymore, so it’s 2 teabags, 3 sugars and full-fat milk for me every time. Ahhhh!
Have you ever had a cuppa with a slice of Yorkshire Tea Loaf? That is just heaven, I tell you. My dear old Nan (once again) used to send me regular parcels that contained Yorkshire Tea and a Yorkshire Tea Loaf - and, curiously, always a box of American (tan) tights in size XXL which used to come up to just beneath my armpits and at least four inches past the end of my toes. I never did discover why she sent me the tights though, bless her (maybe it was something to do with ‘the war’?).
So there you go. All Hail Yorkshire Tea. People simply don’t know what they’re missing.
(Mrs.) Jo Garty.
What an excellent letter in favour of good old Yorkshire Tea, Mrs. Garty. And now, sadly, I’d best brace myself for t’other side of t’coin.….E.E.
