I would love to join you all for a cup of tea, but no sugar for me please i am sweet enough LOL
we had one and i put it on the gas to warm the tea up. it melted,the bottom off it.We had apostle spoons. Although when I was younger I didn’t know that’s what they were.
We also had one of these; the d i made in Birmingham. It has a Bakelite handle and has wonderful ‘gold’ tea staining inside. I bought this one on eBay thinking it was the regular family pot only to find it was a two cup. That may be, but with most people using mugs these days, it just about fills one mug !
Must have been the most common teapot in Birmingham households, if not around the country

we just say panad time now........ Welsh slang for cuppaRemember refreshment breaks were always called a ‘tea break’ now it’s mostly referred to as ‘coffee break’. We used to on the whole drink tea all the time. We occasionally bought a small tin of Nescafé powder coffee, the brown labelled tins where you’d lever the lid off with a spoon. It wasn’t until Maxwell House (I think) brought in the freeze-dried stuff that we moved away from primarily tea. But even today I still enjoy many cups of tea in one day, with only the occasional coffee. Viv.
south wales say disgled......... NORTH say PANAD...and ..chimps say Avez vous un cuppa?pannad is it? Don't forget the 'is it' often heard in South Wales.
