Apparently one bloke here reckons he can tell how the water has been boiled from how the tea tastes

Apparently that is true. The first job my grandad had on leaving school was working for a grocery firm. His job there was to boil water for the tea taster. This was in about 1910 which was obviously before the electric kettle, and indeed was apparently before the invention of the 'whistling' kettle. All he had was an old-school kettle with a spout and he had to guess when the water was boiling. If it wasn't boiling it wouldn't correctly extract the flavour from the tea (we all know that), but also if it over-boiled that too would apparently change the taste of the tea. Either way the tea taster could tell, would be pissed off and would shout at him and make him do it again. I've tried over-boiling and he may have had a point.

Boring personal note: I say it was the 'first' job he had when leaving school, he actually stayed there his whole working life and ended up as the MD. (Fitch & Son which after his time became the Fitch Lovell group who used to run the 'Keymarkets' chain of supermarkets for those old enough to remember them)

What's next week's pub debate, Do bears defecate in woods ? Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back ? What religion will the next Pope be ?

What if there are no woods available for the bears?
Next week’s pub debate:
Do bears then:
1. Use the nearest public toilets?
2. Look for a shrubbery?
3. Just don’t give a shit?

of course he can tell because if you try to use a microwave it will taste disgusting.

Why do you think it would taste any different? More radiation-y? Less inside-of-kettle-y?

I use the steam wand on my coffee machine to heat up everything. Water for tea, my hands, Chicken Kievs.
