My one complaint about the old CE mugs was that every (and I do mean every) one I had was chipped, some big stonking ones sometimes. I recall asking for a replacement one (only once) and was given one with a smaller chip .
This has 'forced' me to only drink V & T when in CE (not common since the seating enhancements).
My only wish now is for some decent vodka- Smirnoff, regardless of colour of label, is not and never will be a decent vodka.
If the mugs are a little more hardwearing than their predecessors, I may well enjoy a mug of tea ^
