OT: On Tea. Is it just me or has Yorkshire Tea got weaker? It used to be 3 sps fl in our pot for a strong brew and now it is 4. Have they changed the formula? Has it gone downhill like so many things; Tizer, Dr Collis Browne's Chlorodyne to name just two? And Zubes - where are they now?
cheers

Not to mention "original" Wagon Wheels.
I use tesco value tea bags, a perfect cuppa every time. bob
I still miss Dr Collis Browne's Chlorodyne!
Hello Jacob. Yes I think you are correct. I too have noticed a difference. It may be because there is a new Yorkshire Gold (at a higher price) which is probably as strong as the original and the original has got weaker and more dusty.
I miss Maggie Thatcher as PM. bob
I think they're growing it in a different part of Yorkshire now ;-)

They always have done - they blend it differently depending on the region they're selling it too. You might just be tasting this.
They used to, apparently - I wonder whether that's still the case.

This is like deja vu, all over again...
I'm currently drinking Tesco's "Finest". Pretty nice and still cheaper than Yorkshire.
Why does witch's brew spring to mind?
I like a nice yorkshire bitter. bob
What goes (a)round comes around.
I have a feeling it isn't hence the specific blend for 'hard water'

I can't say I've noticed a difference. Yorkshire Gold has been around for ages
