Correct. Lt. Blythe (Donald Pleasance) is pouring tea and Flight Lt. Bob Anthony ‘The Scrounger’ Hendley (James Garner) hands him a can of condensed milk that he has somehow acquired.
The absurdity of the statement compounded by the fact that they are both interred in an “escape-proof” POW camp.
That’s interesting.
I gave up sugar in both tea and coffee about a year ago. It was on my dad’s advice “why don’t you try it without sugar. I know you’ll like it” He was right of course (I have one of those dads who is always right)
It occurs to me that the reason so many people do have sugar in their tea/coffee is because that is how they were introduced to drinking tea and coffee - if you like it with why would you ever think to try it without If my dad hadn’t suggested I try without I’d probably still be drinking tea and coffee with sugar today.
Sad it is that people are not curious enough. Sad that things like this just don’t occur to us.
Right, The Great Escape. Thanks!
I am drinking Yorkshire Gold right now, with milk and sugar. My favorite drink.
I also have a recipe I picked up from a Pakistani friend. It calls for loose Red Label Lipton’s, some milk, some sugar, some cardamon, and some fennel seed – although you can add other spices if you wish. It is so very good that everyone asks for it when they come over.
I live in the U.S., and I wish most desperately that my local grocery store carried more good strong Indian and English teas, not that herbal junk shudder.
I drink Lipton’s French Vanilla, with or without milk. No sugar. It’s good, but you guys have me curious about the more exotic teas.
I’m also addicted to iced tea. Two sugars. But that’s nothing compared to the sweet tea of the south. Those people know how to make some iced tea.
If they did, they wouldn’t put sugar in it! 
(I prefer my iced tea without sugar.)
