Title: xc tea from the trolley Post by: dog box on August 29, 2009, 08:36:40 Purchased a cup yesterday and be warned ITS VILE, i would also supect the coffee and chocolate is as well, as it now appears to be made with lukwarm water from in the depths of the trolley.....
Title: Re: xc tea from the trolley Post by: dking on August 29, 2009, 12:11:39 Any 'proper' tea that isn't made with boiling water is vile. It's just that we've been forced to get used to it by cheap catering. I suspect XC is using the cheapest teabag on the market as well.
Proper coffee can stand being made with water off the boil. Hot chocolate is probably the best choice though lukewarm chocolate can be pretty undrinkable. Instant coffee is beyond the pale, at whatever temperature. H&S would probably prevent tea trolleys being fitted with water heaters.

Title: Re: xc tea from the trolley Post by: dog box on August 30, 2009, 01:05:03 much worse DM...it makes the fgw 1st class stuff look like the beverage of royalty
