Sarcasm. Learn to know the harsher the sarcasm and the banter, the more they probably love you. It's how we express our feelings, lol. (To be fair I thought about this, and it's because we know our friend etc so well, and have trust between each other that we know how far we can push the buttons to get a reaction, to much merriment to all onlookers!)

His video is of course spot on with a shortfall. My best advice would be DON'T TRY.....Being British is a mentality, we do not get overexcited about anything, we don't shout about ourselves even though we had the largest Empire the World has ever seen whilst inventing what we know as the First World (especially my city Manchester). Our sense of humour is unique, closely followed by our sarcasm & understatement of difficult situations. Hope this assists.

Loose leaf is best made in the pot quicker and better for mulitple cups,to tea leaf ratio then a bag but needs straining, bags more convenient . yolkshire tea is preferred as to the strengh/taste of the tea in the short time to brew. Compaired to other brands

[@AMANDARAEUK]

ah okay, i didnt realise that, ill have to give it a try :)

[@stephentaylor1476]

Loose tea for when you take tea. Cup and saucer biscuits or cakes and plenty of time. Teabags, throw one into a mug drink it quickly because you're pretty busy.

Hi Amanda! I don’t think I’ve commented on any of your videos for quite some time! So hello again lol. That was quite a fun video actually!

Hoop 'n' Stick… an energetic game or rolling a metal bicycle rim (no tyres [or tires]) and keeping it rolling, wherever, by hitting (in a forward motion), steering (guiding), slowing (pressing the stick hard on the metal rim) or maintaining winning speeds, by avoiding obstructions such as buses, lorries (trucks) cyclists, electric trams and trolley buses and even other pedestrians and typical detritus, (rocks, stones, dustbins, discarded coal sacks, and other drunk or deceased beggars and alcoholics)!

Yorkshire is not the best tea but they take up a huge amount of space in the supermarkets when we are looking for our favourite brands. I think Twinings was one of the earliest tea brands to bring tea to Britain also there were Lyons tea rooms (Indian tea i believe).

[@AMANDARAEUK]

Ah okay, I didn't know that !

[@hardywatkins7737]

Yorkshire tea is decent because it's a good blend, fairly strong, and as teabags go, on the large side, so you can't fail really. I like Tetley though, they're good, strong, but very ordinary tasting. Personally i use cheap Co - Op ones most of the time because i'm not too fussy ... it's still a fairly decent blend.

[@stevieduggan1763]

That was genius,Amanda. Jellied eels are offal lol.🇺🇸🇬🇧🖖😃

[@garyriley5236]

Loose tea made in a teapot. You get a much better cuppa as the tea can circulate freely in the pot. You can also get better quality of tea leaf and a much larger variety of flavours to choose from.

[@robharris8844U]

Amanda, You know very well tea in England has many guises, black,green, lemon,apple, cinnamon,Raspberry, and more flavours. Yorkshire, Tetley and PG tips are the fast teas, always in bags so they can be pushed in every pocket to work or every trip by transport. But Yorkshire is in my opinion the best of the rest as it has strength enough to be used more than once in a mug and reasonably priced.

[@andrewward2010]

If you get Morrisons own teabags Amanda you can have both a teabag and tealeaves in your cup at the same time as the bag always bursts lol! Speaking of Tetley's I think they were the first to have round teabags instead of square.

[@Brian-om2hh]

Failing being able to use or find the correct term or name to get what you want, depending where you are, you can always just point to it Amanda! And yes, I drink Tetley teabags as well, along with the occasional cup of Asda Gold coffee..... Some of the nicest tea I think I've ever drunk, was in a tea-shop in Richmond, North Yorkshire. I asked afterwards what tea it was, and I was told it was a local blend called Mad Hatter.....

Thanks for the tip :)

[@10pmixupuk65]

Tetley was founded in Yorkshire 😊. To be REALLY British: watch unspeakable acts happening all around the world while grinding your teeth, muttering under your breath and ultimately doing nothing. Then go absolutely apoplectic when someone cuts in front of you in a queue.

[@AMANDARAEUK]

lol!

[@izzyroberts5518]

Loose Leaf for 'Blending' 2 scoops Darjeeling 1 scoop of Lady Jane Grey for example T bags for quickness, even with a minimum 3 min 'brew' time. As a proud Yorkist I can confirm Yorkshire Tea is loverly, still not my preferred though, that would be Twinnings Strong Breakfast Tea, maybe use that in your taste test? (PS Tetly's is also a good 'Northern Blend') Anything originating from the wrong side of the Pennines is not worth considering. That means Lancashire by the by lol
