On social media, she shared a quirky Facebook Marketplace listing for a £200 wheelie bin converted into a motorbike trailer, complete with electrics, wheels, and a license plate. What makes it particularly British is its wrap featuring Yorkshire Tea branding, and it even comes with a teapot attached!

She expressed her love for Yorkshire Tea and remarked that the addition of a kettle really epitomises British culture. The post gained traction, with users chiming in, highlighting the comforting role of tea even in difficult times.
