The English don’t have morning tea. At work, I asked my boss if we had a break for morning tea, and she looked at me strangely. “I’m not quite sure what you mean,” was the response.

But the English have wake-up-in-the-morning tea. Then they have a tea (and coffee, but ignore the coffee part) cart on the train on the way to work for the tea-on-the-commute. Once at work, there’s tea-on-arrival. Usually there’s enough for everyone to have 2 of those. Then tea-at-the-morning-triage. Each patient on my home visits offers me a cup of tea, and quite often on the wards there’s a note-writing-tea between patients. Straight after lunch, the kettle gets to work again for the after-lunch tea, and as we all descend on the office for the afternoon admin, yep, another cup of tea.
But no morning tea.
Oh I would fit right in!
ReplyDeleteThere is only 1 zip boil hot water unit in the whole 80 bed hospital I work in (it's in the kitchen) and I sometimes resort to microwaving my hot water to save the walk! Nobody here drinks tea and when I do they scoff at my adding milk to it!
At your end, I do hope it's Twinings, the British Royal option!
I hope there's biscuits with all that tea...
