It has been a lot better over here than up north this summer. We have avoided rain for the most part (apart from 72mm in 4 hours the Sunday before last). It's looking a bit iffy for the rest of the week, though.

Does anyone here like cold tea? I do.

Yes, especially with ice and a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint.

Iced tea, yes. Hot tea gone cold: URHGURHUGHHUHYYEEAEAUURK.

I generally don't drink tea, but regularly drink hot coffee gone cold, and occasionally iced coffee. I hasten to add that if I had milk in my coffee, I would, in all probability, drink it neither iced nor gone-cold.

(Softers, Graham III) No, I meant tea gone cold. Great! Coffee gone cold is just as good. I make a virtue of necessity because having brewed it I get on with doing something and forget about the drink.

Well, I drink tea and coffee without milk anyway.
