I live in Pennsylvania, and in my nearly 70 years have seen some major snowstorms. In all that time we were house-bound for no more than 2 days. I have never understood the mad rush to get milk, bread, and eggs.
Lou, We may share a common language but not the need for a constant supply of tea. Obviously you cannot have tea without milk. Last year on a river cruise the boat ran out of English Breakfast Tea. Disaster. Mike
I would have been very popular on that cruise as I always take my own tea whenever I travel abroad. Then there are problems with the milk - UHT and creamers (which have never been near a cow) will not do. Only fresh pasteurized is palatable with tea and that is often difficult to find especially in Continental Europe.
Everything back to normal. Not a sign of snow. I got my paper, milk and bread and enjoyed my cup of tea. More important this morning was beautiful. Bright low level sunshine turned fields and moors into brilliant shining white with delicate blue shading. One could see for miles across the Dales and the Pennines, all covered in white. I feel sorry now for those who did not have snow. Mike
Odd. I take my tea with no milk, just some sugar. My mother gave me tea with milk only when I was sick, so I associate tea and milk with being sick.
