"As British as drinking tea!!!"
Yeah, right!
But how British exactly is that?
Tea was made popular in Britain by Catarina de Bragança, a Portuguese Princess who became Charles II Queen.

Oooh, Antonio is very proud of this one.
D,
Well mate, you touched a raw nerve in the previous blog, but that's good, gave us all a chance to say what we think about an important subject.
Regarding tea being identified as a British drink, bit odd given it comes from the other side of't world. Nevertheless I'm partial to a cup of tea and glad it came to these islands, just a shame part of that process involved killing a tremendous number of people from India and thereabouts.
portuguesa: But if credit is due than the Chinese are the ones who should be collecting, after all us Europeans only bought the stuff from them.
dan: That is the best thing about blogging, we can share ideas and points of view. Most of the time we tend to live with like minded people, in the 'blogosphere' we can get the input of those who think differently. And it is always nice to have people disagreeing and pointing out different views. Hell, isa, isae disagrees with me on a lot of issues and I love his comments.
Love your quarrels too. I think, as you, that we have to challenge each other. Very happy to be in your circle of "bloggers":)

And where did the phrase, 'not for all the tea in China' come from?
isa, isae: And if sometimes each stays with his own view, other times we learn from each others and change our points of view. It is a win/win.
tacit: We always learn with most things in life, even our own mistakes.
tall glass: Umbrella, bowler hat and bermuda shorts!!! :D Now you really got me laughing!
GG: I dunno... Where did it come from?
Well, until I saw you use the word 'bloke' elsewhere, I'd 've said that was a very English word.
How about "As British as being invaded all the time"?
And I agree with the comments in 'What news' - you've heard of "The Peter Principal"? If not, you've pretty much explained it.
Very British. Have you any idea how many of us argue over who will go and get the tea each day, twice a day?
jonny: Why being invaded?
NML: For some time I thought you were the Queen of England blogging incognita, but after this comment that issue is cleared, the Queen would never have to argue about who's putting the kettle on! LOL
