I enjoy coffee in milk, and I love tea of all sorts, Earl Grey is one of my favorites. (or is that favourites?) Anyway, I fear tea and milk is where no american has gone before.

Another of my big time favorites is Cosntant Comment. To me it is so sweet it needs no sugar, contrary to what my missus has to say about it.

Sounds like a man seeking favour with his wife the day before Valentines day for certain.

Not that I can blame you.

I suspect the national disposition of the bulb manufacturer may be coming into play. They get hit with a whiff of bad voltage and scream "we surrender!"

Might need a few Yankee and Brit bulbs to help them out
