I did say it would take time Annie, and if global warming is to be believed, Yorkshire will be able to produce it’s own tea…
So Yorkshire tea is a myth!
Not really d00d, it’s just tea bought and supped in Yorkshire…It’s not classed as tea until it’s been infused in hot water. British Steel was made from Iron Ore that was eventually sourced from Elsewhere, but it’s still called ‘British Steel’
Quick question, if ya stop all the mining, where are ya goin to bury all the crap?
If it gets that hot then there won’t be any cows and you will have to drink it black

No need for kettle boiling then, that’s a positive
yes it’s a marketing con, a very successful trick. There is tea being grown in Cornwall, but it costs a tenner for 25 bags. However, the stuff they grow that ends up tasting like our normal tea is blended with Assam (which is imported)

I was very disappointed to find that Yorkshire Tea sold in Australia has been nowhere near Yorkshire It is packaged in somewhere like Saudi Arabia but it still says “Taylors of Harrogate” on the box. Next time I am in the supermarket I will check if that is still the case.
Australia does grow its own tea where it used to grow tobacco on the Atherton Tablelands in Queenland it is completely unadulterated by foreign muck, I used to buy it for a while, it’s fine but eventually I went back to Bushells because sometimes the loose leaf was not available.

I’m going to be sticking with Greek, Spanish and Italian olive oil for the foreseeable future.
This stuff looks rather interesting but…
Thirty five quid a bottle and currently sold out anyway.
When or if the olive groves of Lincolnshire abound due to global warming I might become a regular customer.
Two hundred candles on my birthday cake!

Wow, this is new to me, I didn’t know there were olive groves in the UK. Well, a big thumbs up from me, wishing them all the best. 
I see that they can only produce olive oil and not extra virgin olive oil, but who knows, in the future they may also cross that milestone. If they become big manufacturers, their prices will probably become more affordable too.Well done to The English Olive Co.

Now just stop it Rose, you’re making me feel guilty! 
I think I’ll have to order a bottle when the last pressing becomes available. But yes, it must take considerable faith and determination to invest money in olive trees in our climate. Hats off to them!
