I agree that Cornwall and Devon cream teas are great but a traditional tea in many parts of the country containing local specialities to eat can be good. If one wants to have a good cup of tea it is MUCH more difficult. Very expensive coffee has become more widely available and finding a good cup of tea is increasingly difficult, often the best are at transport caf?s. It really is worth trying a good cup of tea (I am an addict) but it is very difficult to find in the UK and pretty well impossible in the rest of the world. Australia used to be good but has gone the same way as the UK, expensive mediocre coffee and undrinkable tea. end rant, Frank On 14 Apr 2004, at 23:20, Jean Louchet wrote: > > I add my 0.01 cent to the thread ...
