With the memory of a million brews etched into the sides: a proper working mug - i approve.

One of the guys on night shift would brew up using an old school tea can - the kind that had a small cup as a lid with enough room for two or three brew ups inside the can. He'd swing it round to mix the tea and milk as he walked back from the water urn while i brought cheese toasties, blackened in a griddle, placed on hot castings coming along the conveyor. Pressure plates were best, as they provided a nice flat surface to toast the bread evenly. V. munchy, especially in Winter.

And leave my camel behind?

I smoked Hoggar not Camel made Capstan full strength seem weak.

As to making tea, as said, where does milk come into it? One does not put milk into tea, it removes the goodness.

took me a little while to get used to tea wthout milk, but it is better without it

and since tea is what I drink in the workshop, its good not to worry about milk, how old it is or if some **** has had a swig out of the bottle

and the other reason, if my mg looks grim no one else will ever use it, others pull faces at it and then share badly washed out mugs next to the dirty sink - my mug may look grim but only i ever drink out of it (in any case it gets scalded with boiling water ever time I brew up

Until 1980, I would not have dreamed of drinking tea without milk, but green tea tastes horrid with milk. And to get brown tea I had to take it with me. Also, Canadian caned evaporated milk did not help either, why Canadian milk in Algeria not a clue.

To make my tea bags last out, one in a kettle and re-boil it, cup for me, cup for next door and fill my flask, had to make 150 bags last 12 weeks.

As I continued my travels, Falklands again no fresh milk, and Hong Kong tea drunk cold, and of course turkey tea near black as was the coffee.

Do not in the name of all that is holy, do it like this...

I make it like that in a Pyrex jug when making up a flask to take over the allotment.

I have never been able to drink tea, which has been stored in a flask - it's horrible!

flasks work fine without milk - when I kae a cup in the workshop i drop the tea bag into the flask and fill with boiling water, this gives me three cups from one bag, very economical, very climate aware....
