GMG - Having to brush snow off my car in mid April. WHY?! I do love snow, but not unexpected snow 
Iāve suffered the delights of probably thousands of cups of āNato Standardā - it has to be said that the standard varied markedly from vaguely coloured water to industrial strength concoctions that you couldnāt leave a spoon in for too long - it would dissolve! 
When travelling anywhere - really annoys me - when they are using a large teapot (such as British Airways) & not taking out the tea bags when the tea has brewed to the correct strength. It means that very quickly after the first couple of cups are poured out, you get stewed tea - the last few cups are undrinkable.
I started to drink black tea, especially as for some of the locations we visited, the quality of the milk was very dubious. Later on, my dentist recommended putting in a slice of lemon - it soaks up a lot of the tannin & reduces staining on the teeth.
So, Earl Grey is very suitable, especially when made by a pretty flight flight attendant (or handsome one, depending on your point of view). One minor advantage, unlike tea / coffee with milk in, itās still quite acceptable / refreshing to drink if it gets cold.
I dunno. I find cold standard tea rather refreshing.
Anywho, the Powerpoint on making hot drinks is in the drive under training.

I went away with work for the first time when I was 18. Not knowing any better I thought that Earl Gray was just standard tea.
I put milk and 2 sugars in the cupā¦ 
One of my work colleagues drinks hers with milkā¦ itās vile without and I imagine itās even worse with it!

Iād never had it before and on a cold morning at a station aged about 17 I asked for tea. They said they only had Earl Grey left, which I thought would be fine (I guessed it was just a brand or type of tea leaf).
A few sips in (with my milk and 2) I went back to the cashier and complained āthis tastes lemonyā. He wasnāt impressed.

Going to France, when allowed, is a pain; they seem to think all Brits only drink Earl Grey
Try telling any foreigner that you, as a Brit, donāt drink tea at allā¦
