My Confession

Our national drink!? Pffft. I will not swear allegiance to this heathen drink! It's about as British as the Volkswagen car! rolleyes

*Walks off frowning and mumbling*

Admittedly the plant comes from a place far from our fair land, but it must be remembered that India was after all a colony of the Empire. And you must admit that there is substance to Invictus' post: one has the choice to drink or not to drink tea. I believe now that neither road has moral implications.

Tea has been a tradition in Britain for how long? Not long... only since the 17th-18th century I think. So why does it deserve the title of "our national drink" over something like beer which has been a tradition for god knows how long?

The thing about beer, is it's not exclusively English.

Neither is tea.

But tea-culture is.

England isn't the only country where tea is popular, you know.

I know, but there isn't the same tea-drinking culture surrounding it.

Damn. I used the same phrase twice.
I'm losing.

It may not the same, but they still have their own tea-culture. I consider 'tea culture' to be even more important in places like China, Japan and Korea etc. than it is here.

Ok. I was probably wrong about that. But I still feel that tea drinking is an important part of English culture.

More than alcohol, and beer in particular? sweatdrop Look at all of the pubs in Britain! It's a huge part of our culture...

Compared to the teabags on sale in supermarkets. xp

This is true. However, I could point out how much bread we consume as a nation. Does that mean a lot?

It is if you put it in a blender with some water.

Honestly... how many people do you know who buy bread from the supermarket for that purpose? xp
