So where's the cup of tea emoticon then?

I see we have a new wine glass emoticon! Jolly good! But some of us would prefer a good old cup of tea.

Do you think you could cater for the likes of us too?

Lots of love,

I definitely drink my tea strong! Grin Builders-style.

By the way, we are very Envy of you, belgo, as you will soon be able to buy some lovely harbour sets, including a ferry! We will have to wait until next year....

Morning LadyP! Yes, at about 10 am I believe. Am hoping that the essential site maintenance will include provision of a teacup emoticon!

Afternoon! How's Sunday pm on Playmobil land today?

Had to think of you this am when my 2 yo was rushing round the kitchen shouting "I want tea", "I want tea" over and over as I was sorting breakfast. I even pulled out the teapot this morning to make the tea, it had been languishing in a cupboard for eons!

Just downed a yuck cup of tea made by my BIL - too weak and too sugary. I prefer a nice strong cup of tea.

So a question for you all, what is your preferred type/brand of tea or coffee? Here it's got to be Yorkshire Tea. My Mum's a Typhoo drinker and MIL has Co-op own brand. Not trying to be snobbish or anything, it comes down to taste and I am sometimes fussy about that Wink I will of course drink any tea, esp. if someone else has made a cuppa for me :)

still no joy with any of them :(

We are all fine in Playmoland, thank you. Sorry not to have got back to you earlier, but my owner and SoMuch had to go out, as he had cricket training.

Now then, tea brands. SoMuch prefers PG Tips herself, and always uses leaf tea in a teapot with a tea cosy. Although she will drink any brand if at someone else's house, she's not fussy.

My mates and I drink Playmo brand tea. Smile
