Re: Tea....
The video may not be a joke. I might have posted this before, but it deserves repeating as a cautionary tale. My (now sadly dead and still very much missed) friend talked of how his mother (from Manchester, UK) made tea. Those of a sensitive disposition should look away now:
1. Two-thirds fill mug with cold water
2. Insert teabag (more likely than not from the pile of dried, already used, bags by the sink)
3. Microwave for exactly two minutes on full power
4. Remove teabag back to drying area
5. Add skimmed UHT milk to brim
6. Add sugar as required, but don't stir (because it would slop over the side of the mug, obviously)
My friends wife, not blessed with the sort of humour that would make it easy for her to go along with the joke with a straight face, claimed it was true, and, when I had a chance to talk to some of my friend's siblings, they maintained it was true in every detail. Whether it was a very well-worn joke in the family, or really the way the lady made tea, I will never know.
