Like Animaterra, brother Bill introduced me to Yorkshire tea. It is a world of difference from what I grew up with. By comparison, as Bill so aptly put it, "Lipton tea is s**t!" I will forever be grateful to have learned the difference.

Speaking of such things, someplace I learned that in England the person who serves the tea, (no matter who, unless a servant or waiter,) was once refered to as "mother". I suspect this is not in current usage. Are any of you familiar with this?
