Can or Can't

Wouldn't dare attempt it - my body wouldn't shake off a crash and burn the way it once die - but I was quite the pogo-er in my youth.

Can you still hula hoop around your waist for 100 loops or more?
 
My immediate area? Can. I've lived here over 35 years so I'd be pretty pathetic if I couldn't. Unfamiliar areas are a different story. For them I'd need GPS, a map, or detailed directions.

You've had a negative Covid test.
 
I can, but rarely do eat chips

Can you accept someone telling you no, without being disappointed?
 
Well, of course, it depends on what my question was.

Can you make a delicious pot of tea, British-style? (And if so, can you tell me how to do it?)
 
LOL..well one mans' tea , is another man's...ermmm tea... :ROFLMAO:

I mean we all don't agree here in Tea-land on how the best way to make tea might be.. for example I only like weak sweetened tea and I make it with a bag in a Mug..... Even different parts of the country like it served in a different way.. here in the south more people like it weaker, whereas in the North they like 'Builders tea''..good and strong enough to stand a spoon up in it..

Purists however, would add the best loose Indian or Chinese leaf tea into the teapot, one teaspoon or one tea-bag per person ( although tbh if it's a purist it's unlikely to be a Tea-bag) , after the pot has been warmed.. remembering first to have run the tap a little when filling the kettle so the water’s nicely aerated, and only boil it once to keep the oxygen level up. Oxygen in water helps flavour..apparently

Then leave the tea to 'steep'' for about 4 minutes.. .. serve in china cups where the milk has been added first.. despite the fact that china cups cause the tea to cool very fast

No-one can ever agree on when the milk should be added, first or last or any at all.. but the purists do usually add it first..

Hope that helps... so now whose turn is it to make the tea today...I'm thirsty... :p

Thanks for the lesson! One teabag per china cup (which tend to be quite small) seems like really strong tea, particularly if steeped for four minutes. I barely wave a tea bag over my large mug of hot (not boiled) water before starting to drink the weakened tea - then reuse the bag for a second cup. :eek:

Can you handle the caffeine in tea, coffee or other beverages after mid-afternoon without suffering wakefulness that night?
 
Holly, thank you! Much appreciated!

Star, no, I usually don't have anything with caffeine after breakfast. One mug in the morning, that's it.

Can you tie a man's necktie?

only steep tea leaves or if you have to..tea-bags in a teapot for 4mins.. just dunk the bag in a cup..or mug, otherwise as you say it would then be 'Builders tea' horribly strong... :D
