We used to have cups and saucers but managed to break them, also mugs seemed safer when the children were little, so we are muggers! However I do have refined dainty mugs for me and workmen type mugs for husband, and I do have a special cup and saucer for treats when I make coffee with frothy milk and put nutmeg or cinnamon on top. A saucer is useful for holding biscuits. nell

It has to be mugs! Cant be doing with them little handles and a saucer - plus the lesser quanity of drink! lol I like my tea (workman type brew) in a bone china mug and i have 2 sizes, small and a pint one. Coffee and chocolate has to be in a chunky mug. And while on the subject of mugs - i hate those small 8oz ones.... its got to be 10 oz size!
