Anyone in the USA

I have just dropped my oh off at Manchester airport to go see our lad in Texas for 2 weeks, now she comes in today with 3000 yes i did type 3000 tetley tea bags to take with her for the lad and i was like wtf? , he is paying for the extra case so i can't moan, now am i going to have to admit to being wrong ? or can you NOT get tetley tea over there?

I stayed with my bro in Texas and he filled his suitcase with a few things. One was HP sauce. Not sure on the tea as we both drink coffee more. Customs opened his suitcase. The look on their face Think they thought he was smuggling something

Oh jeez, that's a lot of teabags

The lucozade,lion bar cereal,sauce and fruit pastiles she took i understand maybe hard to get, but tea bags??

I think he is nicely spoil

hmmmmmmmm not by me, i just pay for travel, but next year bringing grandson coming over i haven't held him yet (lake windermere is the furthest off land i ever been ) sooooooo can't wait yay party time

Lol. He's going to be drinking a lot of tea I think there are places, mainly online, that you can get British foods but it's quite expensive. I visited an expat couple in PA a few years ago and they had a store room full of UK foods.

It is strange, why go abroad for a whole new life to need british food?

nope they don't do proper tea over there!

British aren't famous for it's tea for no reason.
However taking your own burgers to texas would be pointless.

I think I could live without tea anyway Would rather have coffee. Dont think I could live in the states though

One thing I wish I packed my suitcase with was Stella. Couldn't get it in houston

No! You can't get decent tea in the USA! Mind you, I wouldn't say Tetley's was the best, but better than the American teas. The biggest problem, though, is the fact that the milk is sterilised & makes the tea taste funny anyway!

See the beer i could understand and i agree with Kathy coffee is the way to go but all them tea bags it's sad lol

Was gonna put something rude then mentioning tea bags but I have stopped myself

Me too Mike, the impossible sit up comes to mind lol

Sadly, we are tea losers. We drink what we have, but it isn't what you all get. This is why we drink so much coffee!

Unless you gots connections, you are absolutely correct. Screwed up tea and milk to boot!
