I think there's different methods at play here.
The article is clearly talking about making tea in a pot. Which if you do, gives you the option to let the tea brew in the pot before putting it into the cup and whether you put milk in the cup first or last it's not going to affect the brewing of the tea in the pot.

When you make tea in a mug with a teabag, it's a different matter because putting milk onto a dry teabag in a cup, then pouring the hot water on is clearly going to affect the temperature of the liquid in the cup, thus affecting the brewing of the tea.
So if making tea in a mug, always put the milk in after the tea.
I can't stand milky tea or tea that's not brewed for long enough, what's the point if it's not got any flavour?

As for sugar, I always put sugar in the mug with the tea bag and then pour on the water, because sugar dissolves better in boiling water than in water that has cooled down.

Wot you said, I concur.

I'm mainly a tea drinker, but have recently been having more coffee, particularly the latte, cappucino types.

If you're a coffee drinker (a proper one who likes coffee from real beans), then check out http://www.londoncoffeeroasters.com/
These guys are friends who import coffee beans direct, roast them themselves, grind and ship to you so that they're as fresh as possible.

My favourite mug is one the wife got me for valentines day some years back, it's a good size for a normal cuppa (kids broke my Stig mug and the wife has claimed my "Daddies BIG Mug" SHE bought me I may have broke her large red mug... twice ), and when I want a large drink I've got 3 of those huge sports direct mugs they charge for in store, they send them free every time we've ordered trainers online

i have a sports direct one, only cost about 50p in store
