It wasn't through bloody choice it was because it was all that was fcuking available. It left a yellow/orange stain on your 58 pat mug that no amount of scrubbing could ever shift and any norgie that held it stank of condensed milk and stale tea.

Of course it was a choice, the same choice as always - take it or leave it.

I have never understood how they managed to get that orange colour though. My daughter once made me a cup of tea and put nearly a whole packet of tea in the teapot and then let it stand for about an hour and it still didn't get even close to that evil evil shade.

Relentless Inferno energy drink taste just like Screech but fizzy,

My Brother in Law and I were talking about that yesterday, It was the lime one that was the worst and the orange just about bearable, but I think it depended on what Egg Op was on depended on how bad it really was.

Will they be doing one flavoured with 'German Mud' or 'Grass and Leaves' and 'Sand and Engine Oil' ?

The only proven way to remove the taint of tea from a norgie is to use it for screech. Admittedly, it will then take on the bright orange glow normally associated with the China Syndrome, but omelettes and eggs...

I'm pretty sure screech would be illegal if sold openly in the UK, you'd get clubbers snorting it.

Surely that should read 'beverage of last resort'?[/quote]

That makes me shudder.

They think its great fun.....

Do they sell evaporated milk with it, and how do you get that slight tang of OMD 110

**RIGRAT** · 12-04-2010, 20:49

I, for one, like the look of this latest marketing ploy.

When it falls flat on its arrse and is getting given away due to clogging the shelves up in various spar shops, give me a shout as my grans garden fence needs painting. Could even coat the shed aswell, and waterproof it. Then let my lass can have a bath in it and save a fortune on all that fake tan she buys.
