I noticed in the latest episode of "homeland", that yorkshire tea has been doing some product placement. At one place the returning all-American hero/spy is told "I have got you Yorkshire Gold, your favourite". To me it sounded a bit out of place, and very contrived.

Chlorine dissipates with boiling and does not impact on the taste to tea.Your source of supply may have changed.

I was told sometime in the 70's that Leeds water was so pure you could use it in car/motorbike batteries straight from the tap. Anyone know if this is/was true?
Dunno, but 'pure' means different things to different people. Pure water tastes awful. It's the 'impurities' that make it taste nice, or not, depending on your taste.

Going against all good practice, there was Army Tea.Stewed and boiled for hours, it would initially make you wince. Gradually you'd build up tolerance, until after a cold wet day on Colchester ranges, you'd enjoy the stuff.
