Topic: Is it too early for tea?

It's near 6 o'bong but I can't sleep. The lack of Falco posts is giving me insomnia. Is it too early for Tetley caffeine tea?

I thought 4 or 5 bong was tea time in The Empire -- I can't remember which though. 6 bong was dinner.

Hmm... I didn't know they had tea that late in The Empire.

> As the song goes "...when the clock strikes four, everything stops for tea". http://www.learnenglish.de/culture/briti… "Afternoon tea" with cakes and little sandwiches is a very much upper-classical thing and if you have the money and you're in London, afternoon tea at the Ritz is legendary http://www.theritzlondon.com/tea/tea.asp This all goes with the fact that in that class of society, dinner can be at 7 or 8 pm

> But of course that doesn't exist for anyone who actually has to work. A tea break around 4 pm for just a "cuppa" is a very widespread thing

> Around 3.30pm if you are civilised. You will have tea, small sandwiches, delicate cakes and scones. If you are a bit common, tea time will be your main evening meal and you have it between 5pm and 6pm.


Hmmm okay now I see. Poor people have tea at 6. :(

Are you retarded? I'm talking about the tea you drink. And I'm having it at 6 because I can't sleep.
