Hi,

 As for availability - in the early and mid-70s, in the UK, I used
 to buy tea from either Jacksons of Piccadilly (no longer in business)

The company is still in business, even if they don't have any stores
any more.
http://www.jacksons-of-piccadilly.com/tradition/early1.asp

Their products are available from any supermarket in Britain.

Cheers,
 Bob

On 19/6/04, MARK T-BAG ROBERTS, discombobulated, offered:

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot, a classic.  No milk, no sugar.  A very good drink, 

Not an option for me. I've got a bloody great container of PG Tips to
finish off...

Nyuk nyuk nyuk


Cheers,
  Cotty

Tea, Earl Grey, Hot, a classic.  No milk, no sugar.  A very good drink, 
surprisingly so on those steamy hot Oklahoma summer days.

The stores here locally stock a fairly wide variety of teas, considering 
how much of the US equates tea with instant and iced.  I've 
developed a fondness for what is marketed here in the US as English 
Breakfast tea.  A cup around 9:00 - 9:30AM fights off the mid-morning 
slump when I'm working.

Cotty's probably thinking,  And the Bloody Okie from Muskogee likes his 
Earl Grey straight!  :))

Pentax content:  My son gave me his K1000 as he has decided to go all 
digital for his graphic art work.  It was mine from about 5 years ago 
and has a 50mm 1.7M on it.  I'd forgotten how nice that combination of 
equipment can be.

I recently had a cup of Earl Grey, hot, at a local restaurant, and not only
did I use milk and sugar, but GASP... even added a few drops of lemon juice.
Quite good actually.

ARGH

Didn't the lemon juice curdle the milk?
