tasha_78_1 Â Â 10 #1 Posted January 18, 2012 I saw a Ringtons Tea Van delivering to a house near us the other dy. Brought back some memories. Didn`t know they were still around. My Mum used to have Ringtons when I was a girl in the late 50`s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
sharrovian   10 #2 Posted January 18, 2012 A Ringtons man called at my house trying to get me to place an order only the other day but I didn't bother even though he was offering a box of biscuits as an incentive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

smuffin   10 #5 Posted January 18, 2012 Not only does the Rington's man bring tea every fortnight but he also brings biscuits, chocs and other lovely goodies.

AuntieBiz   10 #7 Posted January 18, 2012 Their tea is spot on, and the ginger biccies are lovely. I also think it's a great tradition. Apparently last year some of the Rington's Tea delivery chaps were the only people some elderly folk saw during the really bad weather, and apparently they went all out to get deliveries to snowbound folk.

julado   10 #9 Posted January 19, 2012 One of their delivery vans used to deliver to me - I tried 3 varieties of their tea....awful...every one of them.  Suppose that's what I get for being a tea snob. I don't drink floor sweepings....never did, never will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
