I like both tea and good beer (there, thats me covered ). I'd always seen Ringtons going round in their little vans and never gave it much thought. However a few years ago, my mum, who is getting less able to go to the shops on her own decided to start getting tea from them. We ran out one day and she gave me a packet of hers. Not bought owt else since. Great stuff!

Hi arry awk You might have more in common with the delivery man than you think He He.I did mean provisoners but i could not spell it. Ringtons are now in there one hundred and first year to me thats something to be proud of i have gone on long enough about them so i will put the stopper in.

Ta for that Sundowner. Must try googling Black and Green'sand see how long they've been in business.How about 'Mazzawattee' tea also? Never tried it butyou used to see their long advt boards alongside the railway stations a long time ago. Think I mentioned that one on'Things you don't see' some time back.
