I read my fair share of British, Irish and Scottish crime fiction. I also watch a few Brit car shows. In both, they are constantly ”flicking on the kettle” for tea. Do you UK’ers really drink so much tea? Do you actually like it? I think it’s pretty much terrible and will only drink it if I’m sick or as a last resort. And what the hell are these “digestives” they’re always talking about? :lol:

    Not british but I drink like 6 cups of tea during my work hours. Don't need to put on any electric kettle though, just use the "coffea and tea and coco machine"

    Tea is drank by most people non stop here. And dunking biscuits is a beautiful thing. 
    Chocolate hob nobs. Get on them.
    It really is drank far too much. I drink it black . Milk is the devil. But it's drank all over India and the middle east. In great quantities too.  Americans don't get it like we don't get football that's played with the hands.

    Some of you know that I have experience in Asia. Very cold oolong tea in the summer is amazing. I also love green tea, both hot and cold, but not that CVS stuff that tastes like grass. If I am in London, I rarely order a coffee.

    To me this is THE BEST tea in the world.  I mostly drink tea, a preference over coffee. It's mostly smoother form of caffeine than coffee, of which I drink from time to time.
