@Nimbus that little ball you put your tea leaves in for steeping?

@JavaJoe Oh my, I hadn't seen those before, they're cute :)

I always use tea bags ;)

@JavaJoe You get that from drinking too much tea? Is there medical treatment for that? :)
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
@Nimbus I thought REAL Brits only use a tea ball 🧐

@AbbeyRhode @Nimbus I used to work with an Anglophile in the late 90s who used to read the London Times daily and take tea at two o’clock

@JavaJoe Awwww, any other English customs he liked?

AbbeyRhode · F
@JavaJoe I love that. I've always been drawn to England. :)
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode lol, the former looks better.
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
@Nimbus well he did inform me (or misinform) that Brits think tea isn’t tea if it comes from a bag. 🤨
Nimbus · M
@JavaJoe I see.
Some do think that way but it's not a common view.
AbbeyRhode · F
@Nimbus It makes me laugh. I think I'll get one. ☺️
Nimbus · M
@AbbeyRhode lolol, enjoy :)
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
@Nimbus true. They also didn’t think it was much of a party dumping it in a harbor. 😏
Nimbus · M
@JavaJoe lol, I was waiting till someone mentioned that event :)
Lostpoet · M
@AbbeyRhode Too soon. 😠
JavaJoe · 51-55, M
@Nimbus usually the Brits mention it to us! Disparagingly if course. ;)
Nimbus · M
@JavaJoe Of course.

We harbour no bad thoughts (pun intended) :)
