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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Rule of thumb with tea. Never place the tea in boiling water. Let it sit, unagitated for the appropriate length of time depending on the type of tea. Then enjoy.
Silver, your method is actually a good one since a pan allows water to cool much faster than in a kettle since there is more surface area exposed to air.

I never thought of that. I always bring the water to a boil, then put the tea bags in for a minute, then empty the tea-water into a pitcher. I've also almost always used Orange Pekoe tea.

What I find weird is the fact they people are so attached to their cups of tee . I suppose that they also have also a certain schedule for it : 1st cup at 10 a.m., 2nd cup 3 p.m. and so on
As for the milk, it's all a question of taste of course, but I think it changes in worse the original tea taste.
Personally, I drink coffee, several cups by day also cause it keeps me awake and I work better when I'm awake ... tea only when I'm sick
Here is a weird thing that Belgians eat : peaches filled with tuna salad !!!!!
I don't like it ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
PS : the warm beer it was not me ... I never heard that before

We Finns really luv our coffee, propably because after war years there was a serious lack of everything. And when the coffee was again available and no substitutes had to be used, we really started gulping it. Also the darkness on winter times seem to ache the coffee tooths of people in all nordic countries.
It's a common habit when visiting a family, you just give a packet (500g) of coffee to the host as a present.
