Remember Pre tea bag days, when we used to to take a "mashin" to work ?

A mix of tea and sugar screwed up in a page of The Star.

I had a Mashing can back then, an enamel jug with a cup lid, (anyone remember their real name ? ) but graduated to a pint pot.

kept a tin of nestles milk (sticky milk ) with two holes in the top in my locker, and had some happy times trying to sink the logs floating on the top of my mug of tea as I poured it in..

 

A where a r8 Pob eead.

 

That is it's proper name!

We used to pour the milk into the can after it was mashed.It needed cleanig out every now and again with a handful of sand scrubbed ropund in the bottom of it.

And,amazingly,I've lived to tell about it!
