I never put milk in my tea. I mostly drink Earl Grey and I put honey in it.
But I have had milk with tea before at a friend’s house a couple of years ago with their other grandmother.

I knew it was a bad idea to let those postcolonial types have newspapers
Tea without milk - especially cheaper teas - tastes too bitter and ashy for me. I even put milk in earl grey, which is sacrilege…
Same here.
What you’re experiencing is the aftertaste of colonialism
No kidding I… actually analysed a description of bitter ashy tasting tea as part of a commentary on the dying of the postcolonial light in 1920s Ireland… 
This is the most Hattie thing you’ve ever written
I admit the point was teasing out the… nuances within the story, but I did once write about 2000 words on the use of one word by Shakespeare, so it could be worse

@FunkJunkie, @Hattie: further to the whole anglo-franco thing from the other day, I just found this little snippet in an article about the latest language brouhaha in Montreal:

So, “Franglophone” - someone who speaks or is partial to Franglais, I presume!
Or iron fist…
Or Skyrim
Are we playing logo Telephone?
