It's what you are used to. To me, tea tastes really odd with full cream milk.

Indeed.

None of our cats were actually all that keen on milk. And we have owned (or been owned by) seven over the last 40 years.

Have had some that were and some that weren't. Cheese, though... That gets stolen if left unattended...

That black holes have a maximum spin rate and that the one at the centre of the Milky Way is between 86% and 94% of max.

I can't help wondering what happens if it goes too fast; is that the end of the galaxy or will we just see a million mile long "Error" message across the night sky.

I will occasionally buy semi-skimmed if it's super cheap on sticker, as you say for cooking with, or for the parental's breakfast cereal, but not for tea, as it just tastes funny in tea.

After 20 years in Germany, any milk tastes funny in tea.

I really like green tea but unfortunately it has a very powerful diuretic affect on me.

Beautiful Wife being from Japan she likes it too. In fact her grandmother was a sort of "Grand master" of the Tea Ceremony and pretty famous in Japan for being an expert in it.

Unfortunately I still don't like the stuff.

Not for me thanks. I really don't like milk in coffee at all.

Have you tried De-caf green tea ?

Many years ago (maybe 50) we called into a farm in Devon......it had a sign for 'milk sold here'.
I asked "could we have a pint of milk please"
He (genuinely) said....."I'll just go and milk ee cow".
10 minutes later he was back with a bottle of warm milk (no lid).
It was very tasty.

Not a great fan of decaf anything as the decaffeination process can be a bit sketchy depending on the method used. I now drink quite strong coffee without the same issue so tend to think it's more a natural component of green tea that is causing it.

Same here. When I could drink caffeine, I tried green tea once and it made me sick, and I mean nausea, sweating, giddy. Other caffeines at the time didn't used to affect me at all
