Oh and tea is pretty sissyish.

Yes, I have loads.

Maybe where you two live, tea is seen as sissy..
But here in the UK it is a necessity... problems are solved with tea... we celebrate with tea, we comiserate with tea... it is the drink of heaven. Lol- tea --DOES-- solve everything.

This has turned into tea blasphemy!

I knew it...they do use china.....It is all proper like...It's not propaganda, it's true........

You foreigners will never understand the importance of tea in Britain. If it was banned... the country would fall apart.

Not everyone has proper china...

You expect me to believe you have loads of Inuit and Zulu friends...

Btw finti I dont' really picture Capt_Fantastic as a tea man. (tea man lol sounds paradoxical 😂 )

But every household will have tea.

What have you got against tea drinkers! Most of the UK drinks tea!
Yes, I expect you to believe that I have lots of Zulu and Inuit friends, like I believe that you have lots of Mouri and Aboriginie friends.

Seriously... I want you BOTH, in your mind... erase the idea that tea is feminine and replace it as a simple drink for British people (and some other foreign people)

But here in the UK it is a necessity... problems are solved with tea...

But every household will have tea.

😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠 😠

You're just jealous.

I didn't say I have lots of Maori friends, and I didn't say I had any Aborigine friends. I said I have some Maori friends and I've talked to Aborigine people. I live in New Zealand, and I have relatives in Australia that I visit.
We were talking about indigenous people and you said you knew a Canadian and a South African - unless they're a Zulu and an Inuit then you knowing a Canadian and a S. African is completely irrelevant.

You're just jealous.

Yes, I have lots of Zulu and Inuit chums. Do you doubt my integrity?

I can picture it for me now. Admiral Nelson" Alright chaps lets give the french a pretty good licking and then you can serve the tea in the blue and white porcelain cups there first-mate, make sure you dont crack the china or you taste the whip,...hooray hooray hooray Britain"

Don't TRY and insult Nelson... without him... we'd all be under French rule. Besides... so what if he did enjoy his tea? It proves that it is not gay.

What's the Inuit and Zulu population in the UK? Are they all concentrated around your area? Somehow you know lots of them and they all think Imperialism was fantastic? I'm sorry but I call bullshit on that.

I visited them in South Africa and Canada. I don't care whether you believe me, but I'll have to chose to not believe you. 😉
