excellent teatime advice in this thread.
i like to keep my ample stomach guessing by throwing some toasted teacakes into the mix now and again. lashings of butter and strawberry jam, washed down with a large mug of strong, hot, sugarless tetleys and swiftly followed by a rollie.
half an hour of absolute contentment every day.

One of the chaps at work and I have started photoshopping Jazz Crumpeters at afternoon tea, when we have crumpets.
We're having Scotch Pnacakes tomorrow so we'll proabably have to photoshop famous scots being steamrollered, or at least eating pancakes.

coffee is not supposed to relax you by the way. americans love this shit because its like crack, only legal and not as nasty as crack or meth or something. but they live off of this shit. i drink it from time to time, as well as tea when i want to sip something hot.
i just am trying to maybe compare america with GB and see whats up with maybe if there is something we do that would be equally defining for our country. if that makes sense....
it throws me off all the time when my friend from england bitches that he hasnt had "tea time" yet throughout his day. im like, "dude, just grab a cup of tea"....you guys actually sit down and like praise the shit while sipping it. im hyped that you get so hyped about it.
Just watch this video its 7 minutes long and outlines how crazy the Chinese are about Tea compared to us Brits.Notice how little tea he gets to drink after the whole process.
