Talk:Tea caddy

Tea Caddy, Tea Canister or Tea Cannister? But not Biscuit tin!
The final sentence reads: "The use of "tea caddy" instead of "biscuit tin" fell out of use in the early 1900s." This, as it stands, is a meaningless sentence, and I propose to delete it. It may be that the editor had in mind some correlation between the two, but this is not explained. Or that they intended to write "tea canister" though an entry above says that "canister" fell out of use in the early 1800's. (This is sourced to the Victoria and Albert Museum, but the link is broken.) My reading of contemporary newspapers online (e.g. grocers in the East Yorkshire press) suggests that both caddy and canister were in regular use until the early 1900s, and that canister was often spelt with 2 'n's. I will leave this a few days in case anyone has objections, or other modifications. But otherwise I will make what improvements I can. Petrosbizar (talk) 16:05, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
