My kinda town

Someone explain to me iced tea. What is that turgid stuff all about. It ain't clever, it ain't PG.

Why would anyone want to drink cold tea? Hot tea as proper tea is called here is surely the only way to enjoy a cuppa.

I watch people order the stuff here, squeeze a slice of lemon into it and then pour about 3 sachets of sweetener in. Iced puke looks more appetising. If you need something to sweeten a nice brew, dunk a chocolate digestive in. Right or wrong?

And now Starbucks are at it. Cold coffee, sorry iced coffee. How about that for $4, eh?

Oh how things have changed. It used to 5 pints of Stella at lunch and now its a nice refreshing glass of cold tea!
