What is it about tea?
-
I can't begin to remember all the British TV shows that have "would you like some tea?" as a distraction during the plot line.
What the actual hell is it about tea that needs to be inserted into TV shows?
Hey, @Doctor-Phibes is this a thing?

Actually, I've found that microwaving a cup of water with a tea bag in it works quite well. There's definitely a shortage of kettles over here, so.....
In Britain, a good way of reducing stress if you're having a bit of a situation is to make tea. It's kind of a peace-offering. It's a bit of a joke, but it does also happen in my experience, and what's more it can work.
It's a bit like Americans shooting one another. It might be a cliche, but it still goes on quite a bit.
I was only joking

And remarkably, after shooting someone, some Americans report feeling a sense of closure and a bit more calm.
