He managed to undo the work of a 3 year campaign to improve his public image, it's fantastic.
The Daily Mail brigades reaction is hilarious. They couldn't wait to nail Wossy/Russell Brand to the wall over some surreal prank phonecall but think it's fine to call someone a paki.
I'm telling you A f*cking TEA PARTY WILL SHOW THOSE BASTARDS!!!!
I mean it worked for us. We dumped some tea in the water and next thing you know we were our own country. those dudes take their tea SERIOUSLY.
You can't just dump some tea into the water: MILK FIRST! Back then, to protect fine bone china, it was always milk first or you'd be wearing your drink on your lap. Honestly, you Philistines deserve everything you've got since

Hey, ease up! I always dump my tea into hot water, milk after it's had time to brew - imo, this is the art of a good cuppa. I said back then, and I'm sure I've heard that this practice was all about protecting the cups... is this totally wrong?

I can't speak for 16th and 17th Century practices, but anyone pouring hot water onto a milk-addled tea bag on my behalf is getting the full
Agreed then: scorched milk is totally unacceptable in any century other than those in which de rigeur drinking vessels were unsuitable for scalding liquids.

I dunno Skel, when making instant coffee I've been told you should add the bean to the milk, then add the water, to stop the bean from scorching and going bitter.

This is what Bassie should have been taking an oath upon.

I'd take this one over the Queen and country thing. My tea, right or wrong.

But for tea, definitely.
I met an Indian bloke once, and he was making what he called 'Chai'. He heated up a saucepan of milk, added the teabags, some sugar and simmered. No water involved at all.

Now forgive me if I'm wrong but I do believe that the Indian work 'chai' is related to the Japanese 'ocha' (tea), which is itself connected to the Japanese word for brown ('cha-iro').

Ok, for the avoidance of doubt, let's give a run down on the public perception of some of the main players in the Royal Family:
Overall A bunch of inbred Germanic F*ck ups much loved by the gerontocracy, loathed by a sizeable minority, with everyone else indifferent. Good for tourist dolla income.
The Queen Kept her nose clean, basically a good egg (notwithstanding the odd mess up, e.g. Diana's death)
Prince Philip Mad-as-F*ck
Prince Charles Mad-as-F*ck leather-elbow-patch-wearing big-eared tree hugger
Camilla Please
William Ex-heart-throb, >>>>>> Harry
Harry Neanderthal throwback
Princess Anne Best of a bad bunch IMO. Despite looking like a frightened horse.

Someone needs to eat some cake, and chill.

I would never dream of adding milk first to the cup but that was just the way I was raised.
Definately Hewitts Sporn
It just wouldn't work, would it.

Indeed.
But I couldn't find the correct emoticon to communicate this, or the general tongue-in-cheekness of the conversation in general.

Tsk.
Add some cinnamon and crystallised ginger, done.
Mmm love Chai, couldn't drink it everyday though.
