It went perfectly with range stew.
If you think Brits are a bit keen on tea, you really need to visit Ireland.
Ah go on.
After lying in a puddle all day getting wet and cold anything wet and warm was welcome
Very good
Is that like a Mermaid?
Apple tea after a massage was the highlight of my day on my last trip to Belek.
Ok, we must sort this out....apple tea...not tea.
Nice as it may be.
Right, kettle on.
For breakfast my Grandma used to have fish n chips, cold from the night before still wrapped in newspaper, when newspaper was allowed of course.
Is it SFW to Google 'Apple tea after a massage'?
I guess it depends how far offshore she is... She could be half-French or half-Icelandic.

In space no one can hear you scream
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I'll tell you whats pathetic. Walking the streets holding a cardboard cup of coffee.
"Brits" as you so quaintly call us, like to sit down and savour a cup nice cup of tea, that's the relaxing aspect of it.
Pity you won't see this post due to acting pathetically and flouncing off..... :D
The OP has left the forum Neil, shame really as his English half could have sat down with a cuppa and laughed at t'other half acting the fool.
Blimey, left the forum over this!
What a snowflake.
Or bottle of water.
It’s not just Brits who like a nice brew, those reading the document posted by Dave might have spotted this passage.
In fact, according to the Buddhadharma, not even the gods and celestial beings ever think of asking, “Will I die?” The gods are far more interested in their meticulously clean, fine porcelain saucers and silver spoons, their exquisitely brewed tea, and their entrancing music.

Worry not, he will be back soon. Where else one can ask silly questions how to wipe their own ar$e or seek career advice from complete strangers if not in G&D ..

Funny,but absolutely true.
I hope he comes back, it’s not British to walk out over a cup of tea [unless it’s stewed of course]
That's culture innit.
I believe that understanding the food and drink is the key to "getting in" any culture. I'm a Finn and we drink more coffee per capita than any other nation. If you understand the intricacies and know how to go through the motions of our several different types of coffee drinking situations and behaviour, then you really understand what we are all about.
Or just water.
I worked on a Finnish ice breaker ship a long time ago, bloody hell the food was good!!!!

That's rarely heard about Finnish food! I bet there were guys who spent their breaks sitting down and not saying a word, just enjoying their coffee in a comfortable silence your Americans would consider awkward.
Years ago, I was doing business in Finland for quite a while before my contacts became relaxed and ‘chatty’. Lovely friendly people who come across as very quiet and reserved to strangers. When I first started going there I was astonished with the widespread English language skills of the Finns. Happy days and the food served on Finnair was superb!
Sweet f****** Jesus! Earl Grey before lunchtime! Barbarian!
Nowt wrong with adding milk though, despite what some may say.
As a kid tea time was almost a meal. Tins of biscuits and maybe cake along with the tea. My mum made scones from time to time. Filling the tea pot was a ritual in itself. I forget the exact routine...you fill it half way and put in one spoon of tea, let it steep for awhile then add the rest of the water and tea.
Tea is a meal in places. ;)
As for the OP, I see it as an unfortunate mix of valid questions and unfair judgements. It did give a start to an interesting thread, nevertheless.
All this thread needs is Mr Tetley to swagger in...

I hope you don't leave Ryan, you definitely contribute more than most, don't let people get to you mate.
How embarrassing! I appear to have drunk a cup of tea. And I'm English to boot. What a pathetic creature I must be. This is not the behaviour that made the Empire great.
Time to retire to the study with a bottle of whisky and a loaded revolver methinks. Toodle pip.
P.S. My late Dad often used to put whisky in his tea - especially at Christmas time.
Most Brits don't even brew their teas properly - they seemingly prefer 60 seconds infused hot water...
That's us.Only madmen get chatty with strangers.
I once worked with somebody who had been a translator for the East German film institute. She would actively volunteer to do the Finnish films (typically they would start from English subtitles) as, in her view, they had a tenth of the dialogue. She could do one in an afternoon and book the week for it.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
A cup of tea about 5 o’clock on a rainy late autumn Sunday afternoon, after a few hours in the garden, with cheese on wholemeal toast made with a particularly mature cheddar.
If Buddhists had known about that, then they would have already found Nirvana and wouldn’t have had to risk their lives milking yaks (sic).
I rather like these:

He really needs to sit down with a nice cup of tea and a biscuit.
Oh no, we're about to see another couple of dozen flounce off over the right biscuits to eat with tea

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
I like a cup of tea with honey in it to unwind after work.
Usually while watching the real housewives of Beverly Hills.
I have NO shame over it. :)
Doing that right now, Clipper tea, medium to strong, no sugar, spoonful of honey...makes me go Ahhhhhhh.
I had to have honey in my tea earlier as we'd run out of white sugar in the office. It felt like the world was going to end.
In the Sotadic Zone, apparently.
Always take mine with honey,have for quite a few years, hmm great idea kettle on, cheers
You can’t beat Indian tea with cardamom and a few custard creams.
I took my own tea with me to Spain but like the French [and I suspect the rest of Europe] they just have that rotten UHT milk.
Are we the only country with decent milk?
By the way I hate to say it but French biscuits go particularly well with a cup of Rosie Lee.
Can’t fault a decent Cafe con lecha either I had quite few but sometimes only tea will do.
I think it would be a lot less popular if people realised that it is foreign.
It is ok, fear not, we do get normal milk here. Normally hidden in the fridges in the supermarkets so it is hard to find admittedly.
We mostly pasteurise, so it's not that sickly sweet sh***.
I use raw milk straight from the cow, far better than that pasteurised stuff.

Mmmm, used to go to the farm next door and dip their tank for the warm just squeezed milk, bloody amazing on cornflakes and in tea.
I haven’t room for a cow in my kitchenI use raw milk straight from the cow, far better than that pasteurised stuff.
How do you have real tea without pepper milk?!
Many a explosive situation has been avoided, or repaired as a result of a decent cup of tea.
You don't need to understand it - I don't really get Tags, but they make the people who do buy them happy and that's good enough!
Tea is life. End of story.
