fig. 7 - The tea is now ready to be consumed. Upon taking the first sip of tea, the correct etiquette is to lean back, close one's eyes and utter a satisfied and protracted "Aaaaaahhhh..." Enjoy your tea making!
superb! I assume you've seen by now the reports of how calmly the british coped with the attacks? my favourite is summed up as: When the news reporter said "Shopkeepers are opening their doors bringing out blankets and cups of tea" I just smiled. It's like yes. That's Britain for you. Tea solves everything. You're a bit cold? Tea. Your boyfriend has just left you? Tea. You've just been told you've got cancer? Tea. Coordinated terrorist attack on the transport network bringing the city to a grinding halt? TEA DAMMIT! And if it's really serious, they may bring out the coffee. The Americans have their alert raised to red, we break out the coffee. That's for situations more serious than this of course. Like another England penalty shoot-out [in soccer].
glad everyone you know is ok, i had a mini panic myself, but all is good in the land of ealing.
Yeah, I was a bit panicky when it all happened, but I'm glad that everyone in Britain seems to be carrying on as usual. With the benefit of tea of course. I've said it once and I'll say it again - tea solves everything.
