Certainly not old boy, that would be most remiss and definately not cricket, perhaps later we could all withdraw to the study for a glass of brandy and a choice cigar?

Why, a cigar sounds delightful. No thank you on the brandy however, I have my flask of rum. Cheers!

Well, I'm not a big fan of tea,so no thank you.
But I will take a cold beer if you have one.

Why, Squilverine you read my mind, you rum cove! To the drawing-room! Huzzah!

Good god man, have you taken leave of your senses? I only drink the finest Real Ales!

CASKETEERS! ALL FOR ONE, AND ONE FOR ALL!

When the sun is out, Ill brew sun tea by the gallon. I too love tea WAY more then coffee. I cant even drink that crap. Tea tho, in any form as long as its not over sweetened.

What kind of Rum? I see your Rum and Raise you one Glass of Glennfiddich 12
Failing that, I will go rum. Bundaberg Red Label.

On Topic:
Orange Pekoe please. Milk and one sugar.
Failing that, Lipton Big Cuppa, milk and one sugar.

Ice cold cinnamon tea. It also needs to be strong enough to singe your neighbor.

Fixed it for you...

Perhaps Cynthia could play a nice tune on the piano? Would prefer no 'tinny' sounding words though, much prefer good old 'woody' sounding ones...

..you do it with every post you type...

...so : Milk first then the tea or tea first and the milk ? For the sake of reason we'll assume this is, of course, from a pre warmed pot and made with leaves..none of that "bag" nonsense.

Ahh but if one must resort to tea of the uncouth bagged variety (I believe the peasant classes refer to it as "builders tea") which variety of bag would be least frightful, round, square or the chavy pyramid.

P.S. a true gentleman would never put the milk in first. Only savages behave in such a manner.

Hmmm - round bag, I reckon. Not sure why. Oh, and tea before milk, definitely - I've never understood why people do it the other way round. That's like putting your trousers on before your underpants.

I concur old chap. Can't let those colonial scallywags corrupt our tea ceremony!

From: A colonial Scallywag

Chaps we must ensure that our cousins across the sea see the error of their ways and drink more damned tea!

Jolly god show, that man.

Sun brewed sweet tea, and the kind thats been out for a few hours, is God's own Grace on a hot summer day, preferably with some icecream nearby.

Now you can't go wrong with a nice cup of british brewed tea, anyone thinks otherwise and it's pistols at dawn..

I'll be your second in that duel. I needs my coffee but British brewed tea, preferably brewed by a British grandmother, is the bomb.

Not anymore. I've discovered a sweetener called Truvia. it's a natural plant extract that is sweet, but is not sugar so hopefully once it takes off, everyone's metabolisms will straighten out. It's good, really!

I've got a plant called "Stevia" like that. Easy to grow.

There's a compound in the leaves that's about 1000 times sweeter than sucrose but your body can't metabolise it (it just tastes sweet - provides zero energy in an of itself). A friend who has 6 (Yes, SIX - heaped) teaspoons of sugar in his tea had one and a half leaves, crushed and it was about the same.

Only if he mentioned your mother in a derogatory fashion.

Anything less and you are supposed to respond in kind.
