I am not following you around, I don't even now where you live. I do have a decent attitude and I don't make insulting posts just to be insulting.

I feel attacked here now. So, to stop this into escalating, as a fellow Swede said elsewhere, i suggest we stop replying to each other entirely, it´s for the best. But perhaps it´s best i leave or something. All for the sake of peace here on the forum.

Have a good day then and it stops right here this bickering. Thank you

The stuff about eating the elephants was meant as dry humour Protonic...

Conversely, it's a big world out there, remember when English is your second language it can sometimes be hard to discern the humour from a serious point.

Lets draw a line under this guys and get back to talking about our favourite kinds of tea.

...

Errr, starting with someone else as I kind of don't like tea :D. Milk or otherwise... Shocking for a British person I know...

Thanks guys :).

When you state that you don't like tea, is that the mini meal or the beverage?

Do perchance like tisanes? No milk but maybe honey?

I don't like tea or coffee, I am not a fan of beer either... I just don't like how they taste :p.

I like fizzy drinks and hard spirits. Everyone at the barracks back in the day thought I was trying to fit in when I drank vodka all the time at the bar (cheapest place on earth to get a drink, btw). When I brought my own 50%'er in from my collection because the squaron stuff was junk, attitudes changed :D.

I miss it. Well, I don't miss doing drill because I have two left feet, but hey :D.

Status: offline 		Well, I now have trouble walking because of my right foot so I guess having two left feet would be difficult unless you also had two right feet to go along with them.

As far as bier, I prefer German lager.

I pretty much gave up on hard liquor after giving away to small glasses from a litre of Jack Daniels then I remember giving away two small glasses of Hennessy cognac and I as told that I finished it. I made it to work the next day.

Honey? Lemon? GET OUT! There's always one willing to spoil it for the rest of us isn't there? Well this behaviour is not big, it's not clever. If you want to be wrecking a nice cup of Rosie with your fancy schmancy, highfalutin, honey and lemon, then you do it elsewhere RangerJoe.

[slams door] .....and stay out!!

[Composes one's self] Now, I'm off the the kitchen. Would anyone like a nice cup of tea.... with milk - sugar optional? I might just throw in a nice hot crumpet.

Thank you Old Bean! That was delicious. Shame about the crumpet. So hard to find fresh piping hot crumpet nowadays.

Well... yes. I do expect a cup of tea pretty much anytime I fancy a cup.


Besides, it is time for afternoon tea. Ever heard of taking a cup of tea in the afternoon?

Legend has it that Catherine of Braganza brought tea to England back in the 1600s, giving life to one of the country's most iconic traditions. Today, Portugal is home to the only tea plantation in Europe, a century-old family business located in the heart of the Azores Islands.
