| 504260 | 2006-12-06 00:26:00 | The Listener article was almost entirely wrong, No PCW staff are working reception. My cellphone has switched telcos, not disappeared. The pot plants and as much peripheral stuff as poss is being disappeared because we're moving to a new office building shortly (still by ourselves, rather than in with Fairfax), which features a brand new fully-equipped kitchen plus, more importantly, a brand new fully-equipped PC World Test Centre. Yes, we did switch tea bags from Twinings to Dilmah, though I'm not sure if that warrants national news. It's all good. I'm still mainlining coffee. Scott is still mainlining tea. Bruce is still mainling both. Right we'll cancel that whip round and stop feeling sorry for you all then. |

| 504261 | 2006-12-06 01:22:00 | Yes, we did switch tea bags from Twinings to Dilmah The most sensible decision I have heard today. Bodes well for the future. | Scouse (83) | ||
| 504262 | 2006-12-06 01:35:00 | Good on you for switching t bags im so pround of you now did you do it for taste of for cost:2cents: | sativa (11571) | ||
| 504263 | 2006-12-06 01:43:00 | I think the debate (if there is one) between Twinings and Dilmah teas is moot. To me they're both as good as we get here in NZ supermarkets. | Greg (193) | ||
| 504264 | 2006-12-06 02:16:00 | The Debate is not moot. Virtually profits for Dilmah tea go back to the original growers. | KiwiTT_NZ (233) | ||
| 504265 | 2006-12-06 07:05:00 | I'd just like to clarify the tea situation here at Fairfax BM Towers. Back in the IDG days we had Dilmah (my personal favourite), then, not long before the takeover we switched to Twinnings. I wasn't happy about this at all. That's when I went and kicked the dishwasher, threw the coffee machine on the ground and dragged all the pot plants down to the hairdressing school on level four (they're still trying to figure out why their new classmates won't talk to them...). Needless to say, Dilmah teabags are back in the cupboard and all is well in the world. :thumbs: |

| 504266 | 2006-12-06 07:15:00 | But anyway you look at, or, as they would say in the UK Midlands, 'any road up', tea is not what it used to be. At one time leaf tea consisted of sizeable leave pieces, of a size that fortune tellers could tip the cup upside down and then 'read the tea leaves' that were left in the cup. Then along came tea bags, and it was said they were filled with the tea warehouse floor sweepings, or the dust from the bottom of the tea-chests. Now packets of so-called leaf tea contain the same dust as they put in tea bags, and a lot of it passes through the finest tea strainers. What has the world come to. :lol: |
