Hey scriptbrit! Dumb question I suppose, but, can I ask.... is there a proper way to reheat tea that already has milk in it? I just put mine in the microwave, and it was perfectly delicious before it got cold, but after I reheated it it smelled like mushrooms and did not taste good. What did I do wrong?

I feel so blessed that I’m being asked tea questions.

However, I’ve never had to reheat a cuppa, so Mama Tea stepped in again. She’s a very smart lady, she has a masters and everything.

She said that microwaved tea doesn’t taste very nice, because it’s not just tea you’re reheating, it’s milk too. So you’re heating up a milk and tea mixture rather than milky brew. Bit confusing but alright.

Considering that hot milk tastes and smells like arse, that’s probably where the mushroom-ness is coming from.

In conclusion, it’s probably worth it to just put the kettle on again. Thank you Mam.

Hi, thank you so much for volunteering to answer our Brit-specific questions. You mentioned you call Christmas lights fairy lights in the UK. Do you still call them that when they are, let's say on Trafalgar Square? And am I right to assume usually most big cities (London) don't take them down till (very) early January?

It depends really on what pattern they’re in, where they are and what time of year they’re up, at least for me anyway. I don’t know if this is a normal thing, or something weird that I do, like the whole bap/barm debate but thats a whole ‘nother topic.

For me, lights on a christmas tree/in a christmas shape, that are up during the christmas season, are Christmas lights. However if they’re not in a Christmas pattern, or up at Christmas, they just become ‘lights/fairy lights’ if they’re in the town centre. Fairy lights are more like the tiny strings of lights that you hang in your room and stuff to me.

Big cities usually go all out on lights during the festive season (Liverpool, London, Manchester, etc… maybe Blackpool) so they are usually just called Christmas lights.

As for when they take them down, I consulted ‘me mam’ (my mum) and she said they’re taken down around early January. Thanks Mam.

Sorry if this was confusing!!

I read an article recently that the queen was going to abdicate and give the crown to Prince William instead of Prince Charles. Is there any truth to that?

I asked my mum just to be sure, and she said no.

However, I wouldn’t be surprised if she did that. Prince Charles has nearly died like three times?? I definitely remember there being some medical emergency in 2012 I think? William is younger and would rule a little longer than Charles if he took the crown.

I would miss the Queen though, she’s like some distant great aunt I’ve never met and I quite like her.
