I tend to drink tea throughout the day as well and I live here in America.  I never use a kettle though, just a pan on a stove.

There is no such thing as warm beer in England. It's always f***ing cold there. Even at room temperature, the beer is cold.
 
Tea in England and most of Europe has a historic purpose. A lot of it has to do with the fact that the British were trying to steal Chinese trade routes and they discovered and introduced tea to England to help Europe get off the alcohol binge they had been on for decades after disease and bacteria spread to the water sources (the plague). Also, coffee houses made tea famous when coffee was heavily taxed. Coffee houses introduced tea as the inexpensive alternative. Read the history and the truth will be dscovered.
 
Tea in England is treated the same way as coffee is in America, as a stimulant.

yeah that stereotype is pretty true, most people have like 5 or so cups of tea a day, personally i don't.

i couldn't actually tell you WHY we do it though.....
Do you actually find it weird val lol? Tea with milk is like a must! 

And the warm beer? Out of interest where did you hear that? 


You like to complain about the generation of today, at the same time you forget who raised it...

PS: I know the old norwegians drank it warm... Vikinger and Mjød.
It contains traces of a spesific mushroom that make them qrazy... They drank, ****d, and killed anything in their way...
I was on kon tiki and the viking ships on Bygdøy in Oslo yesterday, thats why i remembered it. lool
But beer warm is awful.

Okay, i have one specific question i wanted to ask.. and i thought it was cool that we have so many different people here from around the world with different cultures so maybe we can all learn something. If anyone needs to know about arogant north eastern americans fire away.
 
ok here is my question, and this one is to the brits:
 
apparently people in england prefer their beer warm? is this true?
 
so anyone who goes out to the bars or drinks and is from england.. please answer me that question. thanks
