I was perplexed to read the following on the bag branded PG Tips:
PG tips
3 Steps to brewing the best cup of PG tips tea.
Brewing methods may vary but we suggest:Use one bag per 250ml of freshly boiled water
- 1. Allow the tea to brew for 1-2 minutes or to preferred strength, then remove the tea bag.
- 2. Always use fresh milk where possible. And there you have it, a delicious brew fit for a monkey.
What on earth did they mean by that? Thank you, Internet, for solving yet another mystery (and are there no bounds of imagination used by advertisers?).

My husband travels a lot and brings home the most unusual tea bags. Sometimes he gets me hooked on a brand that I can't find any more of it.
My friends and I are always remarking on how difficult it was to find answers to those nagging questions before the Internet. A friend remembers spending a whole week trying to find someone who could tell her what Twiggy's real name was. I'm glad the Monkey Tea thing got answered.
Too funny! :)
Thanks for bringing back memories of monkey ads on TV!
Pauline! Long time, no read - welcome back!
Sorry everyone, I'm waaaay behind on my reading and commenting, but don't give up on me! I'll be back on the internet soon - hopefully this weekend! I'm really looking forward to catching up with everyone! XXX
