thats hardly fair.

all we have is gangsters and such, and they fear no tea that i know of. save, of course, "mister," who pities us all equally.

otherwise, when i think of tea (non-iced), i think of 2 things:

1) either my mother and grandmother drinking it together and complaining about how awful i, and other children/grandchildren are

2) the stereotyped british even, filled with both prim and propper, a delightful variety of scones, and, of course, doileys.

reading through as much of this thread as i have, there's obviously a whole culture (one of many) i'm pretty unaware of.
