    And one simply MUST hire a calligrapher to write one's shopping list, with each item on its own page.

    She was a very handsome woman. Towards the end of her career she appeared on TV in "Call My Bluff" and on the radio series "Petticoat Line"

    I think this film should be viewed through the lens of lingering postwar austerity.

    Truly Dazzling shopping experience at Harrods. I do most if not all of my shopping there. It is so convenient and I get to meet all the other ladies from the social club. A long drink of Martell is just the thing to pick you up and invigorate you for the entire day. Oh Golly Gosh how splendid indeed.

    Does Tetley UK 🇬🇧 own Tetley 🇺🇸 USA? Here in the States Tetley is known for their tea bags 💼 which make excellent iced tea-by the way I use 5-6 bags per batch-makes 2-3 quarts!!! Refreshing!!!

    Out of all the amazing provenance in Harrods she buys tea bags, cheap French brandy and plastic washing up dishes. Bizarre.
    Finally : One bag makes 4 cups of tea ??

      It may not be in the thousands price mark, but she bought Martell 3 star which is £150 for a bottle today, I wouldn't call that cheap

      bgs7410 OK. But using it mixed ? And no ice. Awful.

    She added milk before the tea...that's against the law on the 1925 tea act

      It's better to put milk in first as it creates an emulsification of liquids, otherwise milk last is just a mixture.

      Made in a pot, milk first. Made in a cup, milk last

      @OofusTwillip 5 лет назад +5

      It's what one does to prevent one's cheap teacups from cracking when hot tea is poured into them. The milk cools the tea just enough to protect the cheap china.

      Say what you like, I'd rather go and see a lovely woman like this, a lady of quality, with perfect manners and deportment, than Stacey Soloman shambling round Primark in her pyjamas and slippers, as was seen in the press a couple of years ago.
