    Dagsson is great. Humour as dry as the dried cod they sell in Iceland.

    Definitely true, considering the lack of “thank you”, I’m Irish, but even I’d be offended!

      According to some surveys, the Irish drink more tea than the English these days.

      This is one of those things that becomes more disturbing the more you think about it.

    I hate having tea with anyone in North America. I grew up drinking orange pekoe tea at home. Mom always brewed a strong pot of tea and it was a deep dark orange color and tasted great with a bit of milk. A fresh cup to me is a deep dark orange, a drop of milk and a bit of sugar.

    The only fast food place that comes close to this is Tim Hortons. Ordered with a scone and it reminds me of tea and bannock (a native style and very basic baked bread)

    I’ve never met anyone else who could make it. It’s like a foreign concept to people. They’ll pour luke warm water into a tea bag and serve it weak and watery and drown it with milk and basically serve a shifty watery milkshake. I’ve even been to restaurants where they just use the hot tap water to serve a cup of tea.

    My favorite is a scene in an animal forest full of talking animals.

    Mr beaver: Well, hello Mr Wolf, won’t you come in for some tea. I’ve just made a new pot (holding pot and tea cup in his hands)

    !!! … (sounds of ceramic breaking on the floor) … !!!
