I just finished watching "Stranger," and it recalls a lot of what I've seen in a lot of other Brit-shows.

What the hell is the obsession with tea? Any time there's a crisis that needs to be discussed, one of the characters says, "Would you like a cuppa?"

NO!

Just tell me what's going on, and don't ply me with tea.

Surely you don't think the Canadians came from nowhere, eh?

Another thing I saw today was a comment, "Don't try to bollocks me!"

George: "Jeebus."

Stealing this!

It's very hard to develop a decent system of sarcastic humour when everybody is armed to the teeth and drinks nothing but coffee.

I'm just saying...

@Doctor-Phibes so, just take a Soma Valium, right?

Tea, man, not drugs and therapy.

I noticed In Larson’s book on Winnie that a possible tea ration for the brits during the war was a hardship which could not be endured or expected of the people.

Bloody right. Never mind not being able to go to the over-priced gym, or get a haircut/tattoo/piercing. NO FREAKING TEA!!!
