katyjay 5,090 Posted July 4, 2007 Report Share Posted July 4, 2007 Thanks. A busy day here, one party this afternoon, and another this evening to watch the fireworks, plus I'm helping to line up the parade participants at 6, then jumping on one of the floats and joining in. It's going to be the hottest day of the week today, 116+ in Phoenix and well into the 90's here. It's supposed to rain by the weekend though, monsoons are round the corner. Yippee. I'm sick of getting static shocks from everything I touch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Limey 242 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I keep telling 'em we are slowly taking it back! We let 'em 'ave independence for a while, but they have made such a mess of it that we have decided to slowly take over again! It's funny how may look kinda puzzled and then say "I have noticed there are a lot of you Brits over here"! !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 My hub tells everyone we didn't lose the country in 1776, we retreated. Same as I tell everyone that the tea here tastes like it's been dredged out of Boston Harbour and dried out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bip 88 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Just bought myself a packet of Yorkshire tea, bl00dy costly mind but worth it. By the way it’s still raining, I know it is because the dog has just come in from outside and his back is wet through I also know this because he has just rubbed himself up against my leg, I now have wet jeans.

Beefsteak 305 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 I am rather partial to Yorkshire tea myself (But it begs the question where in Yorkshire do they grow it.....LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 My 94 year-old aunt (lives in Heanor) only drinks the Yorkshire tea - bloody good stuff it is too! I think she buys it mail-order! Over here I can buy Typhoo teabags at our local supermarket! They sometimes have Devonshire cream, and normally carry Heinz steamed puds in tins - including "Spotted Dick"! A few weeks ago they had Rose's Lime Marmalade - so I snagged a jar for me brekky! The local "Irish" pubs all have HP Sauce - and Colmans Mustard! I'm not complaining Try explainin' "Spotted Dick" to an American! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted July 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Funny thing though in my local Morrisonsthey are now doing Lancashire tea (Owt to keep up the war of the roses) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 We drink English tea here, as in Typhoo or PG Tips, brought over by my brother on his visits. I'd drink Yorkshire if I could get me hands on it, it's a good strong cuppa, puts hairs on yer chest, it does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted July 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 In my cupboard right now, 2 ,yes 2, boxes, It's on BOGOF at Morrisons at the moment I have just previewed this ,all I did to get the picture was to scan it in,(The whole box) ,it ain't alf surprised me how it's come out.

Guest Anne Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 ..try explaining 'frozen faggots' to Canadians! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anne Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 sorry...I got the wrong page LOL Great picture of Yorkshire tea..I could drink a cuppa right now if I could get it. We can buy Tetley's though and that's not bad. Nothing like an English cuppa though..maybe it's the water or steilized milk ot summat...but I can never make a good cuppa here.

Frank 13 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 We tried the Yorkshire Gold tea as me daughter lives in Cambridge and the water is so crap - yuk - I think I'd rather drink coffee Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Victoria Scentre 0 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Yorkshire tea gold what’s that all about then and waters water isn’t it? Give me a nice Brazilian any day, about six foot two virile body and a large ego. Viccy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,090 Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 Anne, I don't know what your altitude is where you live, but here at 7,000ft, the water doesn't boil as hot as in the UK, and it does make a difference with the taste of the tea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
