Tea Time!

[The Mad Monk]

A friend of mine says that he enjoys tea all day long, but in England, it is considered rude to have tea outside of prescribed times. Is that true?

The world wants to know.

I drink dew and milk and water. I have to stop drinking milk soon, though, because I know the kidney stones are lurking behind the family tree.

for some reason iced tea is the only tea popular in the U.S.

I think it's because no one wants to drink hot tea when it is so hot out.

If you English had to live where summers are actually hot like in the U.S., maybe you'd not drink so much hot tea.

although that doesn't explain why american can drink coffee when it is hot out. I knew guys who would drink coffee on watch in the engine room of a navy ship when it is way over 100 degrees F and high humidity.

I always drank soda when I was in the navy though. That was my primary source of caffeine back then. Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper were my favs.

As for milk- well I can't drink that anymore

Ilike hot tea, some ice tea is alright though

No it isn't true. Contrary to popular belief drinking tea isn't some kind of religion in this country.

Our religion is soccer, although it is also acceptable to practise that at any time of the day.

We always have tea and biscuits at 11am, we call that break elevensies, and cucumber sandwiches at 4pm, we call that break afternoon tea.

It's the other way round, if you are found without a cup of tea at any point when you are awake you can be locked in stocks in the village square and be taunted by children.

We don't throw rotten fruit and veg at them because that's our best food that is.

I drink at least 8 cups of green tea per day

along with 3 or 4 litres of water.
