I know exactly where you are coming from mate. Coffee or tea just doesn't taste the same unless it's in your own mug! I had a West Ham football team mug I drank out of for near on thirty years, (of course when I first got it, it mainly held cordial ), then two years ago I broke it washing it up. Fortunately Caroles best friend was going over to England at the time and managed to get me another West Ham mug. But disaster has struck, and I broke the handle of it last week. *sigh*

It just doesn't taste the same.
