Yes, that's OK - Yorkshire tea is in pukka square bags, but none of that farby circle or pyramid tea bag types please.

* waits for someone to crack a joke that I won't understand about teabagging *

Are there limitations on building fires for cooking food at the camp area?

No open fires are allowed anywhere but sensible use with care of portable gas stoves, hexi's and the like is OK. In the hope that Dave B can bring his brazier I have asked if it can be used in the safezone on Saturday night and this has been OK'd, subject to risk assessment on sight.

Ah, my wit is lost on you Rich!

Interestingly, tea bags were introduce in 1904 and the makers of Yorkshire Tea was founded in 1886 (although 'Yorkshire Tea brand is of the 1970's) - so perhaps by sarcasm was unfounded and it ain't farby all that much!

'Tis true. I might even try the spring water that comes straight out of the hill side. It's been piped - not sure where it goes but I bet it heads down to a farm for a free water supply!

Like i give a Shi*, my Yorkshire step father drinks it and he's older than yow - it'll do for me and I like the taste.

Be it WW2, Vietnam or an 80's event I'm attending I drink whatever tea I want 'farby or not' - At the end of the day, it's a fecking brew up - 2 sugers, milk, tea and hot water.

sorry if I don't own the correct manual for making it, but bleh !!

Hehe. The site is very high up and I'm sure the water will be coming through the sheep-free heathland of Ilkely Moor and filtered through the rock. Two thumbs fresh.

Hmmm, second thoughts, perhaps I will boil it first!

...it'll do for me and I like the taste...

Yes, it's the best. (No milk or sugar though : sick : )
They make it in hard and soft water versions - Sheffield is soft water, so I guess it is up there too.

So is Yith a softie then? Or is Chestefield Hard, but Sheffield soft?

I'm not down on the rock types in that area or the water pemitations thru sedimentary rock.

Sheffield has soft water? wtf... I've had enough and it tastes like shit... sure it's as 'ard as it comes.

Chesterfield on the other hand has water so soft that it's actually off the scale... ;)

Oh and personally I'm born and bred Yorkshire, but brought up Derbyshire... so I must be soft on the outside but hard on the inside, or some such bull. ;) Personally I reckon I'm soft all through... mostly in the 'ed.

I have fought such a battle in my Yorkshire village against the horror of Yorkshire Tea, with its 'fresh of the slag heap' taste. I am so upset to hear it is drunk outside of Rural Yorkshire hillbilly land. :(
