Yorkshire tea and digestive biscuits are really all you need.

They should be put next to each other tbh, atleast put the teas on the shelf under the bickies.

Looks like they mostly have things organized by size for shelf space. The more shelves they can fit in there the more stuff they can get on them.

The larger tea boxes probably force them to put it on the top or bottom. And since they probably want to keep "fluids" together and liquid items are traditionally put on the bottom (in case there's leakage so they don't have to risk a damaged product ruining other shelves as it runs down) that's where it ended up.

It does make sense to have them together though since you really do get one if you have the other. I wonder if there's a way to swing it. Moving shelf 6 up to 2 and squeezing them in there could be possible since they probably double stack with the cans nicely.

Watched my neighbors house in Houston when they were visiting the UK, and they offered to bring back something as a thank you. I asked for a box of loose Yorkshire tea. They thought this was pretty funny since it is the American equivalent of asking for a six-pack of Budweiser Beer. But you know, sometimes those mass-market products are just perfect.

Good choice, I understand. I live in the North of England and here "tea" means "Yorkshire tea" at least with me, my family and my friends. Once my uncle went to the shop to get some tea bags for my grandma, he came back with tetleys and my grandma Said "why didn't you get yorkshire tea" Uncle: "they didn't have any" Grandma: "Tetleys is barely even tea!!". That's some brand loyalty right there lol.

Idk, although homemade is best, you really can't call yourself English without mushy peas and Heinz baked beans. Mushy peas is one of my favorite things in the world.

Yeah, I love mushy peas too, I prefer Branston baked beans to heinz though but I understand I am in the minority there.
