Upon waking this morning I fell into the usual routine of not knowing how to function without having a cup of tea - this happens on a daily basis, I cannot seem to function properly without having had at least 2 sips of tea. This got me thinking - tea seems to be a very British tradition which is used in various situations for example - "My hamster just died" - usual response "want a cup of tea love?".... " My boyfriend just dumped me" - response "awww love, want a cup of tea?"...."I've just went bankrupt and am about to loose my house" - response " fancy a cuppa?"...although this drink doesn't have 'healing' qualities to make situations like this any better, it just seems to pop up and be there in any time of need. The good old cup of tea will never let us down - unless ofcourse you don't actually like tea - in which case go and get yourself a cup of coffee and stop being difficult!
On a side note- while giving this Ode to a cuppa, I took a sip of my tea and started choking on it - how ironic is that?!
