You mean some people don't?

Only non-tea drinkers wash the insides of teapots. Tea drinkers leave the tannin in peace.

I'm afraid my teapot would look rather nasty if I didn't wash the inside:

Have you considered buying a proper teapot? One where the leaves get a chance to swirl around in the boiling water and the tannin can build up on the inside.

A proper middle class butcher

So much so that you can put your green wellies on, walk round the corner and see your beef standing about.

Why would I want one of those?

For the taste. And you should get yourself a teacozy while you're out equipping your kitchen.

My gunpowder tastes fine & doesn't get cold.

I'm so middle class, a trip to the seaside means a visit to Aldeburgh.

Do you meet other charming families taking their holidays there?

Living in a town with lots of second home beach dwellers you learn to avoid going into Marks and Spencers food section on a Friday evening and Saturday morning. The place is heaving with them deciding over edamame or broad beans and whether to get the shopping delivered or carry it the 1/4 mile to their old and now restored smugglers cottage.

My daughter had a school friend called Hepsibar (or was it Hephzibah). She was delightful, as were her parents. I'm not sure if they went to Southwold for their hols though, so they may have been common as muck.

Who cares about any of it. Let's just be ourselves
