I wonder if the have permission to use a Land rover on the packaging? Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

Gerry McGovern, from JLR in his bid for world domination, and once he has put all aftermarket modifiers out of business, he will probably go after all ‘T’ Bag makers on the grounds that Land Rover can make a superior brew cheaper.

I wonder if JLR have copy right on the Defender design like Porsche did with their iconic 911 shape?

That is an incredibly "Waitrose" product! "Teapigs", "biodegradable tea temples", "honeybush & rooibos"! Stack me, what happened to TEA BAGS ? Rolling with laughter

I dont even have a clue what "honeybush & rooibos" actually means!

I'm surprised we don't see more of this...

The image of a 'Land Rover', even when used 'stylistically' remains instantly recognisable to many, and carries with it the rich back story of the Land Rover, from which the 'user' of this imagery hopes to benefit.

Personally, I'm more than happy Land Rover tries to prevent the unauthorised use of both it's Logo and 'imagery' of its products, as most add nothing

Some, even when apparently used by an authorised source...still add nothing

While we are on the subject of ‘T’ bags what it is about ‘Yorkshire Tea’ that keeps filling up the advertising slots and supermarket shelves, we even now have that professional Yorkshireman Michael Parkinson the ex-chat show host who goes on about Barnsley all the time except now he is droning on about Yorkshire Tea.

Note to all, tea does not grow in Yorkshire and certainly not in Barnsley, so how can they call it Yorkshire Tea! Confused For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

you cant beat a nice cup of Rooibos (Redbush) tea, very light and refreshing unlike some of the tannin laden stuff that's out there.

Because it is a proprietary blend held by Taylors of Harrogate. And it is awesome Rhubarb and custard let fly with their secret weapon.
