Jaffa cakes are cakes which makes them exempt from VAT here. Also it was settled in court with the rationale you leave a cake out it goes hard, and if it were a biscuit you leave one of them out it goes soft. Jaffas go hard when left out.

[@baconbreadwithbacon]

It used to be that you brewed the tea in a pot, then dispensed the tea into a cup. The bag-in-cup brew is a modern day advance. Pouring TEA into a cup that had milk already in it made sense. Sticking milk in a cup with a bag and adding water from a kettle is a modern day misunderstanding of that process, yet some people insist on doing it.

[@allanmanaged5285]

The bag in cup brew is not an advance, it's sacrilege. (but I do it all the time).

[@germantoenglish898]

We always scald the teapot, then add the tea bags, and then the boiling bubbling water. Putting the teabag and milk in before the hot water prevents the tea from drawing properly. (steeping)

[@MrPagan777]

Putting milk and sugar in the cup before pouring the tea means that the sugar does not dissolve properly, and forms a sludge in the bottom of the cup. Good day!

[@germantoenglish898]

@@MrPagan777 Indeed.

[@Danlows1]

The milk in first was an old Victorian technique due to the delicate china teacups the rich had. If you poured hot tea straight into the cups, there was a chance of them cracking, so a splash (and only a splash) of cold milk was put into the cup so that as you added the tea, it would heat the china up more slowly and avoid cracking. Modern china is much thinker and stronger, and does NOT need the milk in first.

If you're putting a tea bag directly into the cup, then it's boiling water first and then left to brew. Finally, adding milk to your liking. If however you're using a teapot, then tea and water go into the pot to brew, and you can then add milk to the cup before adding the tea.

The rain thing is a problem. It's not especially predictable, so it is very difficult to actually plan a BBQ in advance (you kind of have to seize the opportunity while you can). And summers really do vary. A recent summer I was desperate for some rain and a change to milder weather. Other summers, we have had a couple of half decent weeks but otherwise shifted straight from early spring to autumn. Additionally, what we lack in torrential downpours compared to some places, we make up with persistence. Despite the light tone of the video, relentless rainfall is not unusual and flooding is a serious issue in the UK.

The milk first paradigm is irrelevant if you use teabags. It's milk first into the cup, then brewed tea from thhe pot. If you go tea first, each drop of milk is scalded. Some people can't taste the difference.

The body and mind both expect the same rhythm of the seasons and when we don't get it (ie it's pissing down all Summer) it can actually make you ill. So NOT an inconvenience but an actual illness and a national problem. 03:15 It always feels like a Jaffa Cake pack is empty with the exception of the first one...that's the problem.

They are holding the door that long for that chap because it was raining in the courtyard. 09:30 Our sensitivity to what others think can be a problem especially as most people view guilt as an admition of a crime. No, it's just that most British people feel guilty ALL the time. 12:00 Tea: Not problem? This is TEA we're talking about! I can understand that the US doesn't like tea.....every American cup of tea I've had was awful and don't even mention the "British beer" I had (I was 30 odd years ago mind). Tea is a fundamental part of our history, after all, we (The Brits) made most of China addicted to opium just to get it! My opinion: milk last. 13:20 Now this I'll admit to whole heartedly. I still write my texts and emails as if they were a letter, which I write as if I was saying (like here for example) it.

[@adwilliams134]

Jaffa Cakes are cakes not biscuits. There was a massive Court case about it years ago between the Tax and the manufacturer. The Court ruled that a cake goes hard when it goes stale whereas a biscuit goes soft. because Jaffa cakes go hard, they are legally a cake. The argument about milk and tea relates to the using of a teapot. When you come to pour the brewed tea from the teapot, some people prefer the milk in their cup BEFORE the the is poured in, some people prefer the milk after. When you are using tea bags straight in a mug, the milk is added after once the tea has brewed in your mug for a couple of minutes. What is important os that when you add the water to the tea, it must be boiling, and if you use a teapot, it must be warmed first.
