They are not alone. Asians love tea as well. We drink the stuff during meals. Ever heard of Bubble Tea?

As for me..black sweet or unsweet tea chillled, and a good arnold palmer are my brew(a palmer is 1/2 tea and 1/2 lemonade mixed)
Milk and hot tea just sounds bad.

As for Coffee, I do a packet of Hot Cocoa, add black coffee and hazelnut creamer..using my big "world at war" mug, but I drink more Cocoa w/milk than both coffee or tea.

Thought this was an interesting tea trivia snippet.
It comes from the wikipedia entry for the Challenger 2 Main Battle Tank.

Like every British tank since the Centurion, and most other British AFVs, Challenger 2 contains a boiling vessel (BV) also known as a kettle or bivvie for water which can be used to brew tea, produce other hot beverages and heat boil-in-the-bag meals contained in ration packs. This BV requirement is general for armoured vehicles of the British Armed Forces, and is unique to the armed forces of the UK.

Yeah ! Chiefs got this thing about coffee pots.....:>)

It took 3 rebrews and three flushes with hot water to make the urn reusable, them CPOs have no sense of humour.

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 )!![:)]

One thing i did learn as an MA(Corpsman for our Colonial Cousins)is that in a hospital bed a Petty Officer looks much the same as an able seaman.Also it was the only time i could inflict pain on a SNCO and get away with it.LOL
 
2 rules:
Never piss off :
1.The Cook/Chef 
2.Or the MA/Medic/Corpsman
