OMG! :lol:
Do you people really eat tea? Tea must be pretty darn thick and chewy over there.

Here's the "bed tea" link, by the way:

That thread is a classic.

Yeah, that's true as well. Try Yorkshire tea, it looks like coffee and tastes like feet after a long walk if you leave the bag in the cup for 6 minutes

. That's something people tell you to do in (continental) Europe...

Here's a curious story in which eating your tea plays a minor role, and here's a quote from something that looked like a poem which I managed to google.

"tonight might be pizza night again, I wont be staying till 2 this time, but I've already eaten my tea, and I'm still hungry"

Whatever happened to supper...
