to think that a GLASS of jeffing tea is NOT THE SAME

[SilentBoob]

I was offered a cup of tea. A CUP of tea. CUP.

I have just been given the most delicious looking brew... in a fucking GLASS. It's mug shaped, but it's SEE THROUGH. Frosted, with a seam up the handle. It was a freebie advertising a housing loan. AND IT'S NOT THE SAME AS A CUP OF TEA. It's ruined everything.

Should I leave the bastard?

Thank you Hair :)

Someone asked why we have such a horrid thing in the house in the first place; you won't be surprised to learn that it was brought into the house by Mr Boobs.

Funnily enough avoidinglibel, he is very good at bringing me morning tea in bed. This was an aberration, hence me posting in shock and horror.

YABU tea and coffee are delicious from a glass mug - very retro. My mum had some smoky glass mugs when I was small, loved them!

I now have 2 from Ikea, my only complaint is that they're not quite big enough

Is it a pint one like what old men in pubs witj vesselly noses use?

Yabvvvvvu.

To drink tea.

I don't care if you are given it from a bone china cup presented on a silver tray, or a tramp's boot, frankly. You are drinking the most vile drink known to man.

I'd rather have tea in a glass than in a .......a mug with a coloured or stoneware inside .

Tea should only be served in white mugs or cups

I used to use a glass mug when I was younger (with a lovely Snoopy picture on it) and I was always amazed to see the milk mixed in with the tea or coffee, rather than sitting in a layer on top (like the cream on Irish coffee). My brain just doesn't work properly sometimes.

Agree with Croissant - tea must be drunk out of cups/mugs with white innards. Anything else makes the milk taste 'off'

Coffee in a non white innard receptacle is satisfactory

Sometimes they even do this in restaurants at which point I ask them to remake it in a proper cup.

It really spoils Carluccio's otherwise excellent breakfasts

The thought of bog standard tea in a seethrough mug is making me feel really quite queasy.

There are many strange typos in this conversation.

I used to love a glass of tea when I lived in Spain. Used to be difficult to drink very hot mind you.

is the cup from the 1980s my nana had brown frosted glass mugs horrible to drink out of YANBU ,

Oh and lattes in tall glasses out of costa doesnt make it chic or sophisticated its just awkward ,

yanbu i think tea tastes shit out of cups which aren't white (on the inside at least) or round. Square cups are a massive no no.

Saying that, in my wild youth when i used to have monster hang overs i used to make myself tea in a litre stein glass (from a beer festival). 3 tea bags, quarter pint of milk and about 10 sugars.

Exactly Pascha.

And oh god yes, stupid lattes in stupid tall stupid glasses with a tiny little stupid handle near the bottom. What are THEY all about??

they are scald handles bugger if you dont grab them properly you get latte all down your front

Glass is class. For your next espresso, have them put it in a champagne flute. It looks like black velvet but is so much better (black velvet is a waste of good stout IMO).

YANBU!!! There is a cafe (that serves cake made by a contestant from the Great British Bake-off, no less - vg cake) near me that gives you tea in a glass, so I always make a point of ordering it in a CUP and send it back if it is brought to me in a glass. It's just wrong, and strangely it seems to go cold faster??

My very posh great aunt when offering cups of tea used to always ask, 'Would you like a cup or a piss-pot?' I always like a piss-pot size cup full of tea. My biggest ones hold about treble what a 'normal' cup holds, which enables me to scoff a whole packet of biscuits without needing to boil the kettle a second time to make another cup .
