I'd like to apologize to the entire country for allowing this to have happened. I'm sorry.

Update

Made a small Tesco run and got some Yorkshire Tea. On with the day.

The weird thing to me is that their teabags seemingly don't have a string attached.

You don't need the string, just fish the bag out with a spoon or your fingers when it's done brewing.

That either creates more dirty silverware than necessary, or requires me to stick my fingers into hot tea! How barbaric a suggestion, really.

Eh, the string just disappears into the pot anyway when you pour the water over. Why not cut out the middle man?

You can hold on to the string when pouring the water over??

HOW WERE YOU EVER AN EMPIRE??

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

You can try, but it's like the string on peelable packs: it always breaks.

And our empire was built on keeping calm and fishing bags out of teapots.
