      Not for you, but I bet the 100 or so people about to be out of a job disagree.

        Good point, I probably shouldn’t comment when I’ve just woken up. 😞

    English tea is piss poor. After visiting tea plantations around the world, everyone agrees, English tea is basically sweepings from the floor. Nothing good ever went into an English teabag. 🤢

          It’s tragic that you drink tea to feel “classy”, rather than to simply enjoy it as a drink.

          And to answer your question - a lot of countries add milk to tea. I don’t know where this myth that only the UK does it comes from.

          Other countries use half a kilo of sugar instead of milk. I’ll stick to English tea thanks.

      You may be correct, but what you’re doing is a bit like walking into spoons, and telling a larger lout that his Carling is pisswater.
      Not necessarily wrong, but possibly not tactful.

        No, they aren’t correct. They just happen to like their tea prepared differently, and look down on anybody who doesn’t like what they like.
