Tea just fancy water!!!!

Over here in England tea is more than that. A work break is called a "tea break" and so boosts the morale. The "tea break" requires the use of the biscuit (biccy!) for the obligatory "dunk". A "rich tea" biscuit is a favourite for that.

Even at the most cruical moments during the lifetime of the Empire, while under threat from Napoleon and then Hitler, there was always time for a cup of tea. :winking:
 
I understand there were some long faces when the Royal Navy did away with grog, though.

Tea is preferable to instant coffee, but otherwise it's just a way to mask off-tasting water or to get something warm into you on a cold day. :winking:

Now, some of the oxidized oolong black teas or smoked caravan, they almost approach a suitable drink. None of this squirrel gray or breakfast types.
 
I use those wheels or a reasonable facsimile about everyday in my shop, mostly on metal, you can buy them just about anywhere they sell dremel tools. A piece of sand paper on a block will cut that hump off in just a few minutes, can also be used to sharpen old flints. Or lay a sheet of sandpaper down and rub the hump back and forth across it cuts it much faster than you'd expect.
Daryl, :applause: congrats on the stopping smoking, it's hard , keep after it. Hardly anyone smokes here, it's so rare that to see someone smoking it's like if you saw them streaking or doing something else equally strange.
