The Big Issue - #1 in a compulsive series

[SteCenturion]

Switch to coffee ...

Tea is the Devils Brew anyway.

& who would drink a beverage that looks like it came from the Bridgewater Canal ?

 

[TVC]

Another vote for bicarbonate of soda. We give our teapot a regular session with it. Two teaspoons, fill with boiling water and leave overnight.

Just for the record, if anyone should, at some future point, need to know how to get stains off melamine tableware, as used in hospitals in the 1980s (and probably still, for all I know), I have a good method of doing so.

Pah!

 

[TVC]

Bone china is all well and good, but does anyone know how to get stains off melamine tableware, I've inherited some from a hospital?

 

[threebikesmcginty]

I'm now worried that I might have tannin stains inside my alimentary canal. I'm gonna drink some bleach. Will report back later.

I haven't had this much fun since Crackle's lawn, Noodley's tree, or your cooker hood. I've even been to the kitchen to have a look at my porcelain mugs, in order to decide whether I should worry about this issue more than I do currently.

No need to fret, Claud.
Bleach is the consensus solution.

Bleach is the consensus solution.

Can you do us a tally of each suggestion?

Bugger off Crax, if I believed in democracy I'd have included a poll.

 

[Fab Foodie]

Don't chuck it in the park! Broken china goes in the hardcore skip at the recycling centre.

I've never been tough enough to throw anything in the hardcore skip ....

The fretting didn't last long. In fact, I was almost over it before it started. There will be no willy-nilly bleaching going on. I will be sticking with the existing regime of mostly not giving a monkey's and cleaning them up with a scourer once in a blue moon.

 

[rich p]

willy-nilly bleaching

I'm not squeamish, or indeed, smutty, but that made me squirm a little.

 

[theclaud]

I'm not squeamish, or indeed, smutty

O rly?

 

[rich p]

O rly?

Okay, not squeamish? Fair compromise?
