Bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. I'm not a big fan, much prefer a nice strong cuppa Yorkshire Tea :y

i happen to run out of sugar and milk today, black tea aint bad is it. not sure about the colour of the cup it leaves

Back in the early 70's I worked in a small engineering company and we always had Oxo drinks during tea breaks, gorgeous it was, must try it again.

When I was a lad, we were often very skint, and the dog would get a bowl of bread with lashings of oxo for it's dinner. ;D

LUXURY!! When I was t' lad, we had to pay to go t' work and lived in shoebox at bottom of t' lake. Fatha used to whip us with leather belt at bedtime and we used to get up for work 4 hours before we went to bed............
