Someone can always go around with a jug of milk to add for those wanting weaker tea, and or a pot of hot water to make it slightly weaker. We over here although living in Dorset, enjoy the Yorkshire tea, make to the strength you enjoy using more or less tea leaves. We dislike tea bags.

Ahah! Electric tea kettle!! That would work very well, probably better than a tea urn, unless we spring for a dedicated tea urn to keep it away from coffee. Heating the water on the stove takes so much longer it would make a very big difference. And, they're cheap. Now to do the tea cozies.
