Cuppa or Hot Beverage?

[HelenMumsnet]

Hello. The result of our cup of tea emoticon poll show a clear win for the cuppa fans.

So.... all that remains is to decide what text we all type in to make our cup of tea emoticon appear.

Would you like [cuppa] ?

Or the rather less liquid-specific/more amusing but longer-to-type [hot beverage] ?

Do let us know...

Good work, Eleison. Am off to Cairo shortly and have decided that you would be a welcome addition to my Throwing Mubarak Out Team. Get your kit packed, we will leave at 21hundredhours.

Brew! is Brew!!!!

MN you have just helped repair what has been a truly bloody awful day.

It is very pretty.

LOL at AtYourCervix using before HelenMumsnet announced it's arrival... Makes you wonder know who does have all the power on MN! :)

i was ready and waiting for the 'off line for a mo please try again in 30 secs' thingy.

but yes. i hold all power, clutched in my sweaty little paw. bow down and quiver in my presence.

maryz - what you have said is probably true. I have campaigned my hardest, but realised that for all the pople who are pleased about the , there are several who are upset about it. I'm a bit about that to be honest. But that's life. I usually end up upsetting more people than I please, so this is probably a good result as far as I'm concerned.

For the moment I'm having a celebratory party Everyone is invited!

Hmmmm. It looks like bovril in there, to me. And it's clearly cold.

Only joking. It's very lovely. Well done Daniel [crawl], here's an apple (teacher's pet). Have I gushed enough yet?

If you're going to try crawling, it's best to get their name right. It's not Daniel.

Thanks Rebecca. I can't find a reload button on my computer though....

Close your browser window and re-open, see if that works.

Ah, that seems to have worked!

oh no! I can't believe we went with 'Brew' I can't hear the word brew without picturing Ricky Tomlinson on the Royall Family.

Anything but brew.

Have a and reconsider Please!

obviously, my opinion is irrelevant (no change there then ), but in my neck of the woods, you mash tea and coffee.
I have only ever heard brew from yorkshire people or people doing fake yorkshire accetns

i would have preferred [cup] because [cup] can be a mug or a cup (usually with saucer)

and i preferred the cup and saucer but i'll get used to the mug

does [pombear] still work???

Oh.

There's no pom, it's just bear. Should work then.

Well I'm flummoxed now aren't I? I'm going to have to change my name to MuggaTeaJanice.

Was looking forward to using [cuppa]TeaJanice!!

Can't we just say [hot] to cover every eventuality? Don't like [ brew ]
