I would, but according to my records you haven't paid your 'Pointless Tax' taxes recently. As you are well no doubt well aware, this tax is levied on every third 'A' and every seventh 'E' on any day with a 'U' in it. On days begining with 'M' or 'W' the charge shall instead be levied upon every third letter 'T' and 'S', with an additional surcharge applied to alternate 'I's.
Please make arrangements to pay of the backlog of taxes, and I will be most happy to educate you in the correct methodolgy and procedures for tea drinking.

It's got nothing to do with the fact that it annoys the Argies either.

Well, old boy. The simple fact is that it is just not done. A true gentleman only drinks Earl Grey whilst in the company of a duchess between the hours of 6.00am and 11.47am on days featuring an 'S'. To do otherwise would be ungentlemanly, unEnglish, ungodly and, dare I say it, something that a foreigner would do.

Thank you, sur. It may explain why I suddenly have a craving for a nice, big cup of Earl Grey.

Well, no. We do have space in our Massachusetts colony though. The journey would be by sea, an approximate journey of 4 weeks from your point of embarkation.
