I love tea ... I love coffee too but tea inhabits a special place in the psyche of your average Brit. It's like curry; i've never been entirely able to trust a Brit who says they don't like tea or curry.



Mmmm … Curry. I wish I lived closer to Leeds so that I could go to this weekend’s World Curry Festival.

Me too!!
I am fortunate that I have one of the best Balti Houses in England very close to where I live, and my wife and I love it. The Shaan in Great Wyrley, near Cannock. Great service and the food is fantastic!!! ( I'm an avid tea drinker too )!!

Never piss off :
1.The Cook/Chef 
2.Or the MA/Medic/Corpsman
