New for 2022

Tea is much more thirst-quenching and refreshing than coffee.  I always drink tea at home, but usually coffee in cafes, but it makes me feel quite hot.   I also find that tea tastes best in a china mug rather than thick earthenware ones.

Try Decaf Coffee - Superval, Mrs Knopflerfan has decaf and feels ok with that...

[Knopflerfan]

Tea is horrible, coffee all the way for me, and yes I am English.

Try without milk.

Personally I only have a smidge of Milk in say Breakfast tea, and no milk whatsoever in Earl Grey, Lapsong Souchong & Oolong etc

Going back to topic, looking forward to all that mugs of tea on British Grove!

Indeed that would make a good sight, Tea cups on show at BG!!

Decaf is disgusting!   It tastes like cocoa!       I like a flat white when I'm in a cafe or restaurant, though.

Cocoa? Obviously a crap blend then!

In fact we don't think Decaf coffee tastes any different than 'full fat'

I have a slice of lemon with Earl Grey, but Lapsang Souchong tastes like disinfectant. I was at someone's house one day and I wondered why the tea tasted so awful.  I thought the cups must have been washed with Jeyes fluid, until my host asked me if I liked the tea and explained that it was Lapsang!    I had even thought of pouring into the nearest plant when she wasn't looking!

Ah Lapsong, dear Lapsong - just so delightful and smokey!
Again it's got to be loose tea NOT a Twinings 'weak brew' tea bag!

I'm still wishing that this 2022 not only have the charity project, and hopefully the new MK record, but also the Local hero musical back to London stages, and also the cd of the musical.

I keep trying to get any info from Guy about the musical, but always failing. I know he is quite tied about it and he keeps saying we will know something soon, but it is soon from more or less last year, lol.

Can't wait for news about it!

Me too.
I would like to hear MK Local Hero versions.

Which charity project? I haven‘t heard of this yet

When I was called by phone by the Old Vic, they said to me that they wish to be able to have Local Hero on their stage when the pandemia allows such a play with so many people on stage. I received today a mail from the Old Vic with their schedule for this year and, those plays between two and five people only. So they didn't schedule any big one yet.

The last date of their schedule is 9th July 2022 so, if there is any chance for Local Hero at the Old Vic, it would be starting in July, maybe August / September?

However, from all that was said at the time, I'm under the impression that the musical is going to move to other theatre. Most of West End ones have some musicals represented...

Let's hope that "Soon" is soon really.

Interesting. I was kind of hoping for a late 2022 release... Around October or November, maybe.
