    Yes, I too show religious fealty to [regional brand]. Those Americans with their corporate sanewashing and bombardment of adverts are silly but I’m of course superior because my marketing for [brand] is more sophisticated.


    This is a fucking advert for a company that purchases raw materials cheap from ex colonies, shoves them in a bag, and sells it to you for silly prices with the gall to say it’s from Yorkshire. Fuck these guys.

      How dare he question the glorious natural and historical tea fields of Yorkshire!

      My father were a tea miner and me grandad were a tea miner.

      I’d be a tea miner meself but there weren’t any jobs going, because of THATCHER! *shakes fist in direction of hell*

        As long as we’ve got one drop of Yorkshire Tea left in our bodies, we’ll make sure that Thatcher’s grave will never dry out. She might have stolen the milk from the schools, but that’s not our only source of hydration.

      Yeah they should only sell tea grown in the the UK. Best we can manage around here is an awful lot of weed.

        At least Yorkshire Weed wouldn’t be a lie and it wouldn’t involve exploitation from our colonial past.

          Pretty sure that the drug manufacturer and distribution involves a certain amount of exploitation
