else in there nowadays.

You might just as well buy 4 pints of semi-skimmed and add 4 pints
of water, or simply use less of it. Skimmed milk is so pathetic you
just end up using more.

It's all a matter of taste.

Skimmed milk tastes like water and not like milk.

There are people around, otherwise quite normal looking people
who will only drink tea without any milk or sugar. They will ask you
why anyone would want to mask the delicate taste of the tea with
cow juice and sickly sugar or sweetener.

You take a sip and it doesn't taste any better than it did the last time;
and you're immediately looking around for a convenient pot plant.

As I said, it's all a matter of taste.

As it happens I mainly use milk in tea - Tesco Red Label teabags.

Whether there's any delicate taste there to mask,is maybe another question.

Years ago, like most other people I was quite happy to drink bright orange tea
straight out of an urn in cafes, with "normal" milk and maybe four spoons of
sugar.

Nowadays it's all skimmed milk and sweeteners and the former cafe most likely
only sells artisan crafted llapsong souchong at a tenner a cup

Tastes also evolve.
