British Standard 6008 and International Standard ISO 3103 advise that tea is best made with water that is freshly boiled. Prolonged boiling of water, or water that is boiled twice, drives off the dissolved oxygen in the water, making the tea taste flat.

Hmmmm, did not realise tea making was a legally enforceable pastime!!!! :shock:

During World War II a cat called Oscar served on the German battleship Bismarck. When the Bismarck was torpedoed Oscar was rescued by a British sailor on board HMS Cossack. Five months later HMS Cossack was sunk, but Oscar was rescued by HMS Ark Royal. Only 3 weeks later a German U-boat destroyed Ark Royal and Oscar was rescued again by the allied forces. The naval authorities then decided that Oscar had had enough and posted him on land. According to British naval records, Oscar died peacefully in 1955 - can't claim credit for this one, but I forgot where I saw it.

Hmmmm, not too sure of that one KP! The kingdom of Saxony has varied in its geographical makeup for hundreds of years, with so many rulers and counter-claims for rule, its history is peppered with battle, so what period are you referring to??! I think it is generally accepted that the Zanzibar conflict in the 19th C. was the shortest recorded batle & you'll always win a pub quiz with that answer :wink:
