I’ll start: Greggs is massively overrated. I genuinely don’t understand how people hype it.

Edit: this is a casual community so it would be great if we could avoid politics lest it descend into chaos!

    Tea bags without a little string on it is weird.

    Then again, I’m european and have only ever visited Edinburgh so I don’t think my opinion counts, Anglophilic as I may be.

      For a long steeping tea, I can understand the string.
      For one you’re going to be whipping out after a few minutes, I like the tagless ones.
      It means I can just throw them in, instead of fiddling wrapping the string around.

          I have too much fear of it sliding in. I wrap it around the handle (a lot of them have a little slit in the paper so it clips to itself).

          Don’t you need to do this anyway even if it has a string, as you’ll need to squeeze the bag at the top of the mug to prevent unwanted drips. Chances are you’re making a cup of tea in a kitchen and a teaspoon will be within arms reach.

            Going to go out on a limb and say continental Europeans tend to drink tea without milk so don’t need to use a spoon, that makes having string more important

            nah just lift it out, give it a shake and let it tap the sides a bit before a swift transfer to the dustbin.

            edit: the little packaging the teabags might come in can be used for transfer as well.
