Army tea marches onto High Street
Quote:
The tea served to Britain's servicemen and women for nearly 90 years is to go on sale to help raise money for troops injured in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Naafi Break, created by the Navy, Army and Air Force Institutes (Naafi), will be available in 80 branches of Spar.
It is the first time the UK-made tea has been sold on the High Street.

Been a very long time since I was in a Naafi shop.I'll be looking out for this tea..only I'm not sure where my nearest Spar is these days.

Yep - used to get a bacon butty and a mug of tea from the NAAFI wagon outside T'berg (then at the end of the shift, a Schultie and a bratwurst).
