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.

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...

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.
