No tea for anyone! It got stolen last night!

I like how someone in the Comments section accused the thief of being British. Wasn't one of you lot, was it?

I once made a telephone call to Toblerone to ask them why the bar is triangular. Expecting to hear some claptrap about it being like the Swiss Mountains, I was told that if it wasn't that shape, it wouldn't fit in the box.

Aldi Australia do some jaffa cakes which, unbelievably, are actually better than McVities.

Unpossible!

When I first got here and I saw the 'red hand', I assumed it meant
'no surrender to oncoming cars'
so I just stepped out in front of them and made them brake.

Next on the agenda should be the "pot to the kettle/kettle to the pot discussion"

Very crucial in my opinion

There also needs to be some discussion regarding "Tea Cosys". My Gran was very particular about those.

Steady....you're getting perilously close to the milk first/tea first conundrum....and we all know that that isn't going to end nicely....

I can see we still have some work to do.

Also, Tea first, of course.

Aye

Can we briefly touch on calling something tea, that clearly has never been close to a tea bush?

Its just not right. It bugs me, it smells ok but tastes like poop. And you can't dunk your biscuits in it.

Yes, America needs to be introduced to a word.
America, meet "infusion"; infusion, meet America.

The times I have been to a house and been offered a choice of fifty types of tea, when in fact they have none.

Thank you.

When I ask for hot tea (because iced tea is the work of the devil), and they offer me a raspberry infusion, I can look at then and say no thank you. I want tea from a tea bush you numpty.

Wait!
The rule is to warm the pot first, by partially filling with boiling water, re-boil the kettle, then start the brew. You get whipped if you try to take short cuts. Or is that just my experience?

Phew...dodged that bullet then!
