View Full Version : Our tea keeps getting cold
Apologies for a frankly idiotic question, but i'm not in England that often and I've been *very* unsuccessful so far.
Where on earth does one buy a large tea cozy these days? Are they as extinct as they seem to be?

Knit one? :p
Seriously, theres loads on eBay.
Let me rephrase, where on earth can I find a tea cozy that'll look right in a Scandinavian-style house and won't make my girlfriend refuse to come to England ever again. :p
Those ones on e-bay are terrible! :D
I'll join in with the knit one! :p
Or ask your parents/grandparents/other relatives. :)
Or drink it faster! :p
HMmm there's a LOVELY boutique shop in Clevedon up the road from me that do things like that :) If you canny find one online want me to pop in take some photos and send one your way if you like it?! :)

Beau! Although I don't get how they work. Where'ds the spout go? Maybe they're not tea cosies. Either way I want one! :D
I want a tea cosy and mug cosy now!!
Drink it straight out the kettle.

This prevents you choking on ice cubes too!

Tempting, but the power cord doesn't reach the sofa. ;D
Drink faster? :D
Yorkshire Tea deserves to be consumed slowly. All other tea is consumed quickly in case a fellow Yorkshire Tea drinker turns up and spots you.

There is one there that is *perfect*. A few that are perfectly terrible too. I have the duck already, I can barely push a spoon into it, let alone a tea pot....
You leave that duck alone you sexual deviant!

Well, they are renown for being tight...

Lol.
My friend drinks her tea almost as soon as it has filled the mug :/

That's just not right. You need to abuse the tea bag before drinking.

I bought one of those 1 cup boily things tuther week how about trying one of those. Press the button at the top & it boils & pours 1 cups worth, takes seconds. They were over 70 quid when they came out but are only 28 quid now in Currys. Every cups a steamer then. :cool:
Tempting, but they are rare in Denmark so we'd have to get one sent over, plus yet another plug conversion.
I might just train my girlfriend better...

I think this Lakeland one (http://www.lakeland.co.uk/farmyard-textiles-tea-cosy/F/keyword/Tea+cosy/product/14155) is cute :)
This one fits the kitchen the best:

I've spent way too many hours looking at knitted sheep tea cosies though...
