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?

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

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!!

This prevents you choking on ice cubes too!

Tempting, but the power cord doesn't reach the sofa. ;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....

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