Scottish grown tea isn’t a real thing.
Who would have guessed that Scotland isnt the ideal climate for tea production?

Tea is part of the camellia family, so if you can grow camellias you can probably grow tea. Whether it is good enough for drinking is another story.

Tea is never good enough for drinking.

I get my Cornish tea from Waitrose. Obviously Yorkshire tea is far superior.

Tea plantations seen from a distance look to me like privet farms.
Privet leaves and bark have bitter properties that make a useful tea for improving appetite and digestion in chemotherapy patients. [wiki]

I wonder how many people think Yorkshire tea is actually grown in Yorkshire. I bet it’s quite a high percentage.

Absolutely this. Tommy was just daft enough to get caught.

I see Gregg Wallace has issued another pronouncement on his fall from grace in which he manages to insult everybody, including those with autism, the producers he worked with, even cheeky greengrocers. He wasn't protected apparently.

Whilst I have every sympathy for and do appreciate (for reasons not for public forums) those facing neurodiversity in our modern society I don't feel it permits things like answering your front door the door wearing only a towel, which he later dropped.

Exactly. It's complete bollocks. Neurodiversity might be something which justifies inadvertent rudeness, over honesty - even staring which makes someone uncomfortable (some of us can get a thought which causes us to stare into space whilst we are going through a long processing conversation - sometimes you end up doing that while looking at someone) - although usually without eye contact, perhaps sharing inappropriate jokes or making inappropriate comments at the wrong time accidentally.

It doesn't justify touching, groping or indecent exposure and failure to learn about your inappropriate comments.

Judging by the reports I do think it's true that the BBC or the production company were happy to let him do the cheeky chappy persona thing and didn't rein him in for fear of upsetting the talent. In that way they enabled him to continue I suppose, but the actual behaviour is down to him alone not their failure to protect him from his own claimed neural diverse behaviours.

I am struggling to understand this discussion, who or where was the "talent"?
