The ultimate Countdown staple..........Tea and Biscuits
This brand of tea bags make a really nice brew..........my hubby likes Tar Tea which is very strong
The Tetley Tea folk adverts that started in 1973 and ended in 2001, The Gaffer was voiced by the late actor Brian Glover and there were 63 adverts were produced, after the characters were axed in 2002 sales of Tetley Tea Bags fell, it is my favourite tea brand and is one of the best sellers in the world today.
Tetley make tea bags make tea.
That's Better. That's Tetley.
Only Tetley will do.
‘’Tetley bags all the flavour”.
