Well to some of us Scots high tea is different than England (well I never found the same)

In Scotland high tea was bread, cakes, tea and fish and chips or macaroni cheese and chips etc.
Your whole meal all included in one price.

Whereas in England they simply meant cup of tea and scones, cakes etc where I was looking for my dinner

As Matty was telling us lot all about his Hoildays back home

Clearly English people are better than Americans I don't think anyone on here would deny that. There are a few half decent Americans like Tracym, rete, NCpenguin but that's about it out of the whole country. If you want real friends you can't beat a good European no doubt about it.

Haggerwood

I thought you people just ate Haggis.

I don't consider we are better than Americans...they are just different...that's all. They have had a different upbringing...a different culture...that's why we can't relate to them but we can relate to each other.

May be people like the Queen have there "high tea" late afternoon and dinner to follow later around six

Haggerwood

which is a roundabout way of saying we're better.

Jerseygirl

We called it 'afternoon tea' not 'high tea'.

Haggerwood

Can't stand that miserable old bat

britvic

Of course we do, I think that just come's from way back the term "high tea" it was an American who asked me

Sally

A slander case should be brought for those abominations.

Isn't high tea what they used to have in Edwardian times? A meal which would fill the toffs till the real dinner late at night so they could spend the night dancing and going out to see fireworks, what?

britvic

They are rather disgusting I must say

britvic

Thats why I said 'way back'

Irn-bru

afternoon tea is the same I think throughout the UK..know what you are getting.

Boy did I miss those proper high teas when I was living in England.
There should have been a Scottish ex pat forum for those Scots living in England so we could come on and moan
