Someone has too much time on their hands
I'm watching CBC Newsworld. They just finished interviewing a guy who came up with the way to guarantee you get your tea just the way you like it.

He's introduced a line of tea coloured mugs. There are 128, yes, 128 colours. Make the tea, and pour in the milk until it matches the mug. I think someone is a bit too demanding.

It's so much easier to order a double, double. (Speaking Canadian)

2. This is true
I see a problem though. It doesn't work for all teas. If you're not drinking black tea, your base point will be off. I'm not sure the Brits drink much herbal tea though.

BTW, good morning.

3. You are correct.
but people who would buy this wouldn't think of that.

hope all is going good with you today.
