I'll start: Greggs is massively overrated. I genuinely don't understand how people hype it.

Edit: this is a casual community so it would be great if we could avoid politics lest it descend into chaos!

Tea bags without a little string on it is weird.

Then again, I'm european and have only ever visited Edinburgh so I don't think my opinion counts, Anglophilic as I may be.

For a long steeping tea, I can understand the string.
For one you're going to be whipping out after a few minutes, I like the tagless ones.
It means I can just throw them in, instead of fiddling wrapping the string around.

wrapping the string around what? just let it hang over the side.

I have too much fear of it sliding in. I wrap it around the handle (a lot of them have a little slit in the paper so it clips to itself).

Just hold it as you pour the water in? After that it just stays there.
