the same tea -- my own favourite brand, for example, is now
available, if at all, in my local supermarkets _only_ in bag form,
and I have to remember to get it when I'm in London.

Come to Sunny Norwich where we have two specialist tea shops. I
believe both do mail order, if you want their addresses.

A kind thought, thank you; but I'm keeping the supply ahead of my
modest demand at present -- it's nothing special, just Brooke Bond
"Choicest".

There were ¼ pt, ½ pt, pint and quart bottles

Would question the 1/4 pt, I think you will find that was 1/3rd as in
'School milk'

That is what I do twice daily.

What - you survive as a teapot?

Only twice a day. The rest of the time, he's barely hanging on as a
milk jug.

I fear this newsgroup proves otherwise, where many a dead donkey is
flogged until it dies all over again, and some posters are seldom awake.

On the contrary, I did.

Polio? Methinks you have the wrong disease, and in any case, most herds
were TT by the war, and a high proportion of the milk was pasteurised
anyway.

Not from milk. Things forgotten about the good old days.

Undulant fever/brucellosis was transmitted via unpasteurised milk

Also TB. Polio, cholera, typhoid, hepatitis A etc. are transmitted
by sewage-contaminated water - now, several of those COULD also be
transmitted by dung-contaminated milk, but I don't know offhand
which ones can be carried by cattle.

Nope. I have at least one of each size somewhere - from long before
there was any school milk.

How long is a piece of string? I have 16 different teas ATM, and I
usually have a few more.

I used to love HMC (Her Majesty's Choice), about 30 years ago, from the
Coop - and as a bonus it was the only tea that didn't make me nauseous
every time I was pregnant - but it seems to have disappeared :-(((

the only reason I can think of why the T-bags didn't
break up is moisture levels were too low, I have an 'open' heap and the
elements help to break everything down nicely.

My compost 'bin' is made up of wooden pallets and I put an old carpet over
the top but the last time I looked, everything looked very dry in there, I
added some water but reading your post made me wonder....would I be better
off lifting off the old carpet and just leaving it to the elements?
