Re: The great British Dunk

Maybe it would have been better if you had shown the broken of segment of biscuit floating in the tea ;-))

I like the idea behind the shot.

Re: The great British Dunk

A great idea, very british! It seems a bit "pixely" to me. Was it taken in poor light?

It was taken in natural light, it seemed fine before i resized it but your right it
does appear a bit pixelated, mainly round the edges of the saucer, thought it might be the pattern or something affected it

Re: The great British Dunk

Chudley is a big star these days, he has gone to hollywood to make his fame and fortune, he has got too big for boots (all six of them) if you ask me.
But no doubt we havent seen the last of him

Re: The great British Dunk

Very creative ( as usual from you) Bodoman

That teacup is ever so "British" too.... not a paper cup from todays fast food joints
As for the the brew, it kind of "smells"...Tetleys too
