Earl Grey or Builder’s?

At very busy times with a lot of people trying to read the blog, it can take a while for images to load – they can remain grey. If this occurs, please try again later or make sure you are on a very fast broadband connection! Apologies if this is happening today.

To find out the answer to this and other vital questions, you can have a little look at the Telegraph Fashion pages: ‘What is British style? Four experts have their say’.

We’re happy to be flying the flag alongside Orla Keily, Margaret Howell and Claire Goldsmith.

So when it comes to your cuppa, if you want to be drinking your Builder’s tea from a Hunslet mug, click here. If you prefer your Earl Grey in some lustreware, we also have some lovely bits in at the moment. Which are you?
