Truly British. There is nothing more British than tea. Even though it was discovered in China, grown in India and defiled in Boston. In the UK we get through 163 millions cups every day and even more at weekends. But tea drinking etiquette is complex. To dunk or not to dunk? Cup or mug? If the inside of the teapot is so brown, what do your insides look like? And, of course the age-old question: milk first or last? Scientists have spent tens of thousands of taxpayers pounds solving the debate which starts wars and breaks up families, and the verdict is to always put milk in first. Why? Because adding later leads to the “denaturation” of milk proteins, which, although utterly incomprehensibubble, is a bad BAD thing.

| All excellent suggestions. But, shouldn't it be maple leafs, not maple leaves? Or is that only when the first letters are capitalized? :) |

| Maple Leafs is the hockey team; maple leaves grow on trees (as far as I know). Either way, it's got to be CANADIAN!! |
