What are your quirks?

[Deleted member 65149]

Has to be a mug (bone china but without a girlie pattern! lol!) with a very thin lip too. Just does not taste the same otherwise.

Absolutely and without a shadow of a doubt. How people can drink tea from anything that’s not fine bone china is beyond me. Next thing you know people will be drinking coffee out of plastic containers!

I always eat my vegetables first, leaving the meat and potatoes to second, and finally the Yorkshire pudding (assuming we have them).

My 5-year old daughter does exactly the same (although she has now worked out that potatoes are vegetables so will eat them after the red and green ones, but still before the meat/fish)

Toilet paper is so yesterday.

Who needs toilet paper when you can have one of these.
Sensowash® – the innovative shower-toilet | Duravit

I lived in Tokyo for a year and spent 50% of my time in Japan for a year before that. Nothing can beat a good Japanese toilet!

Air vents in the car must be perfectly aligned even the back ones which i cannot see lol

4 zone climate must also display the same temperature number in every zone which obviously defeats the object and when parked the steering wheel must be dead centre.

When parking, either in a bay or parallel I always turn the radio down, if it's on.

to help you park?

Just something I've always done.

I do it as it helps me park

 

[350cls]

For better concentration levels I imagine. So yeah, to help me park "better"

Another cup quirk.
I only enjoy a cup of tea if the inside of the cup is white. Tea looks a horrible colour in anything other than white.

So you wouldn’t enjoy a cuppa from the smoked glass mugs my parents used to have Rog?

Probably not Ant.
The tea will taste the same as in a white cup, but I've already decided I won't enjoy it.
Mad innit?

 

[AMGeed]

And I far prefer tea made with the loose leaf, brewed in a china teapot than a tea bag dunked in a cup

But that's a preference, not a quirk.

My parents had those too. They seem tiny though compared to modern standards.

I have a tea quirk. As an adult I only drink free tea. Free as in included with Cish & Chips and said establishment is unwilling to trade for coffee. It’s only happened once though.

Yep. Same deal as wine from a tea cup or beer from a coffee mug.
All indeed in the mind.

We don’t have loose tea but we always brew in the tea pot. Can’t be doing with a bag in a mug/cup. Far too strong.

And a traditional pint has to be in a traditional straight plain glass - none of this fancy embossing and such!

I drink the weakest tea in the world. It’s so weak my daughter reckons that it’s simply hot milk!

You are just like Mrs Ant then. She puts so much milk in hers it’s virtually cold.

my ole dad used to pull me up for making him weak tea labelling it Nats P!ss.
