Let me bang the gong
For a cup that’s more strong
The choice for aficianados;
In Spain they guffaw
With a sneery haw-haw
When our coffee shops serve up cortados.
But while enjoying a jar
In some tapas bar
Or cantina that you might be stood in
If you’re in Benidorm
Don’t kick up a storm
At their putt at a real Yorkshire Pudding.
The best reason for not using Starbucks, Stephen.

Good one, John. Another reason not to go to Starbucks.
I think a universal misapprehension is that tea is made with water which is merely hot and not boiling, Uilleam. Evidently the Empire did not last long enough nor stretch far enough.
And thanks for the Likes, Hiugh and Holden,

The French were notoriously rubbish at making tea-now they actually have "tea-shops" in France-with real tea pots!
Thanks, MC. And Frederick for the Like.
There's something of the "Gilbert-ian" style (W.S. Gilbert) in
these lines. How about a tune to go with them, JC? 😏

Indeed, John. A blast from the past which hasn't aged at all.
