Absolutely true. Everyday at 8am, 3pm and 7pm we receive texts and emails telling us when to have tea. The alarm is old hat technology now and discontinued across many parts of the country except for forests and mountains where the phone reception is poor. Prior to 1911 they used to employ "Tea criers" whose job it was to walk the streets banging on old biscuit tins with a dead squirrel, but sadly after Nigel Whistlethrop invented the electric tea alarm system in October of that year they were all rounded up by the King's guard and fed to the wild haggis population. This was quite fortunate for them in reality as the notorious tea strikes of 1912 meant they'd have been out of a job anyway. Thank goodness those strikes ended at the outset of WWII. Of course, even though the alarms are now mostly via sms, deaf people still have the original Whistlethrop flashing lanterns installed in their houses. I understand there's currently research into nanobot technology which means that the tea alarm can be injected directly into a body which will cause dry mouth at the correct times, negating the need to carry around a fully charged phone. Can't wait, got my name down for a jab, we all have 😂😂😂

All you need is Yorkshire teabags.
Twinings is pronounced twynings, as in a capital i.
Also, teacups are needed when using a teapot with the bags left brewing. The volume of a teacup is not really enough to do it the way you did. Teabags only go directly into mugs, not teacups. Just a FYI.

[PaintedBothways]

Fun tea fact! A lot of teas are blended with the local water source in mind. For example, Yorkshire Tea tastes best in Yorkshire because it was blended to work with the local mineral content in the water.

[timenchanter]

My parents had a teas-made! Litterally an alarm clock with a built-in kettle that boils and pours a cup of boiling water when it goes off, you just leave the teabag in the cup overnight and wake up to tea. Not common these days but they were absolutely a thing in the 80s

[lesleyjackson]

Someone send some milk chocolate digestives and Yorkshire tea bags ASAP 😂😂

[YourBeingParanoid]

Yes, in factories - you will get tea breaks where a siren goes off and everyone gets a tea break. Not as much as it use to back in the day.

[corringhamdepot]

"Builder's Tea" is a classic style in the UK. Which is what every tradesman expects when working on your home. A double strength tea with loads of milk and sugar, served in a large mug.

[kcunningham]

A tea alarm. Omfg. If there has been I've obviously been deaf for the past 28 years. I'm in tears laughing.
Also thank you for not sticking those teas in the microwave.

[lisadowsett]

Tea is much better without adding sugar, especially if you're having sugary snacks like cakes or cookies with it, much more refreshing. Earl Grey and Lady Grey tea is meant to be drank without milk. Malteasers are pronounced 'malt eez ers' and Twinings is prounounced 'tw eye nings. Glad you enjoyed, tea and biscuits are addictive! :)

6:52 MALT TEASE ERS

MALTESERS! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[JessLTaylor]

The tea alarm is absolutely real. Every day at 3pm. They used to use the old war siren system but with a jolly jingle. Now it's an alert on peoples' phones. Most people drop what they're doing and gather at the nearest tea station in an orderly queue.

[KimmiVincent]

Tetleys is my go to Tea also! I drink roughly 6-7 cups of tea a day. I drink mine with milk (about a shot glass), no sugars. I cannot function without a cuppa lol. It's refreshing to see Americans actually use proper milk ratios lol. It's also refreshing to see the water being boiled properly, and not 'heated' in the microwave 😂

[martynward]

We have a device in England that you put on your bedside table, thats an alarm clock with teapot and water container, called a Teasmade you prepare it the day before with the tea and water, and it wakes you up with a hot pot of Tea, ready for pouring without getting out of bed 😊

[AnyaNewell]

Yay! So refreshing to see Americans actually make tea correctly 😂 Well done!

[paulmcdonald]

I can remember JT in his truck.

Calling his boss, saying he’s quitting his job.

Going to try to do something different.

Hoping that it would be better. JT! You come a long way Baby!! In my opinion, the best decision you ever made.❤

[phoebegreig]

The taste of tea comes down to your water type. How much chemicals your water is treated with. I live in an area of Scotland where the water isn’t treated with harsh chemicals so I buy teabags that are designed with that in mind. For example, anything that reads Scottish blend means that it is ideally used in a water supply without harsh chemicals as in an area that has water treatment chemicals added it will ruin the taste.

After WW2 there were an awful lot of air raid sirens surplus to requirements and there were an awful lot of vast factories and building sites It was impractical to expect George the tea boy to cover these vast sites telling everyone the tea was ready so they decided to repurpose the sirens.

[jonno]

You don’t have PG tips or Yorkshire tea? There the best

Tea Alarm Time ( most commonly known by its acronym T.A.T) was a British tradition going way back. It was a working class affair mainly - the gentry had tea ceremonies with bone China cups and slices of lemon, the upper classes tended to drink Earl Grey and the like - altogether a fancy affair. 'Tat' was a different case entirely. The 'Tat' alarm would ring out at noon every working day, people would stop what they were doing immediately and head to the nearest 'Tat' station. Once there you would be given a cup of black tea with a splash of milk. Sugar was somewhat of a luxury but most 'Tat' stations prided themselves on providing a small cube for every cup. However the whole tradition was jeopardized by the great war, fresh milk was getting harder and harder to come by and it's said that desperate 'Tat' stations (worried that factory workers would riot if denied their tea) would have to resort to procuring milk from wet nurses. That's where the saying "Tit for Tat" comes from 😉

Hold onto your flump, woman! Is gonna be my new catchphrase!!! Made me laugh out loud!!
