Plastic was used on the sealing sides of teabags. They're moving away from this so might explain the bags not holding.

Just goes to show how prevalent microplastics are in everyday things

Would you not scald the pot first?

Checked the fridge, no milk, no tea for the morning so. Joys of living the rural bachelor life in only buying a pint of milk at a time and stretching it for ten days. Should this be on the rooter thread? Always described myself as far from ordinary but never a rooter.

That's some going. Myself and oulfella go through about 10 pints of milk a week minimum. Between tea, coffee , bowls of cornflakes and the oldest dog getting a drop in the morning after her breakfast.. Although I'm probably the biggest culprit due to the amount of coffee I put away.

Can't keep food in our house at the moment. With kids at home. Daughter having soup now at half ten after having a big tea earlier. Milk and bread gone as soon as you open them. I suppose it would be worse if they ate nothing.

OH and I would use 2 litres at day and open a third most days. The cat gets a drop. We both would drink a pint with the dinner and he eats wheatabix or cornflakes for supper and I make porridge most mornings for brekkie.

Sorry Base you just made me realise I'm still talking in pint bottle sizes when describing a litre of milk! I always describe a litre as a pint. Even me father and brother still do it ha.

Jarlath Regan tells the joke that he looked across the bar at his future wife and it was love at first sight. He knew he wouldn't achieve any better.

NcdJd was wondering where you were getting the pints of milk.

I could never just make one cup of tea.

I have to boil the kettle. Put in the tea pot with three teabags. Bring to the boil on the hob and then I'll get my cup of tea.

Can put one mugs worth of water in a kettle and it'll boil a lot quicker than a full. Just a habit people have of filling it full. Noticeably quicker.

My grandfather used to put the tea leaves on bread and eat them, cold. On batch loaf!

1 cups worth wouldn't do here. They are like calves after hearing the bucket of nuts when the kettle starts to boil. Out of nowhere they stick their heads into the kitchen "are you making tea?"

They can't hear you call there names from one end of the house to the other but no fear of them missing the click of the kettle button.

Funny the habit you can build and break too, in non covid times I’m out on the road with work, bring nosebag for lunch and tea break every day.
Repeatedly forgetting milk for the tea, so I just stopped taking milk altogether.

Take my tea black all the time now.

Still take a wee drop in coffee though but I’d only have coffee an odd time.

A mate of mine used to work for a company, run by "the meanest man in Ireland"
When the staff went home in the evening he would go around and switch everything off, including the fridge in the tea room.
The mate got so fed up of the milk always spoiling he started taking black tea, and has never gone back to milk..

The dishes.
Mother of god between constant grazing amd bits of baking and cooking dinner the dishwasher seems to be on constantly. I know I filled/emptied it three times yesterday. I don’t buy snack type stuff in the shopping but rather get the girls to make their own cereal bar type things. They cost a fortune and it’s good to be messing about making new things.

There was a local family of bachelor brothers I knew who each had the habit of only drinking their tea after carefully pouring it from the cup into the saucer.
