    Everyone knows that there's only two types of tea in Ireland, so which one do you drink?

    Lyons - tastes nicer and the Barrys ads make me want to drive down to their headquarters and petrol-bomb the place.

    Once it's not Tetleys or PGtips :mad: That was the worst thing about living in London. The 'ethnic' section in Asda sold Barrys though

    Most Lyons people haven't tried Barrys.
    I have successfully converted two households to Barry's as it is far superior.

    I chose "I am weird" because they don't have either brand here alas. They have Tetley's though!

    No way, Lyons is freshly packed with full flavour. Lyons. The quality tea.

    Proper strong tae: Tesco Premium tea bags. about a euro cheaper than lyons and barrys and blended by nambarrie in norn iorn. 160 box great value.

    Damn good kick out of it too. Try it.
