: Nice Cuppa Tea : Sharon September 16, 2005, 10:22:59 PM In the UK news papers today there was an article about how much tea the average Brit drinks in their life time*. The total they came up with was 74,245 cups of tea. That works out to about 1060 cups a year or 20 cups a week or 3 cups a day. Now in our household you could easily multiply this by 4, giving a staggering 203,840 cups in a lifetime.
But to let your imagination run wild try guessing how much tea Roz can guzzle down. I was going to estimate a figure but my calculator started pleading for mercy :rofl: I just think it is fascinating how much of something we can pack away in a lifetime, be it tea, coffee, chocolate muffins or those little tiny dognuts you can get from Greg's with the cinnamon sugar :P (yes everyone outside of the UK should be very jealous now ;) ) *70 years : Re: Nice Cuppa Tea : Sharon September 17, 2005, 01:04:32 AM I try not to double post but Anna has kindly pointed out a little error in my post :rofl:
Just to be clear I eat doughnuts from Gregs and not some weird UK cake called dognuts :rofl: Tell what, that is only the second time I have laughed this week :rofl: Thanks Anna :rofl: : Re: Nice Cuppa Tea : grecopa September 17, 2005, 03:04:58 AM I'm glad you clarified that, Sharon! I would hate to think you eat something called DOGNUTS! :rofl:

I've been known to call them 'Duffnuts' ... :rofl: Dognuts - one of the better slips of the tongue there young Sharon! ;) ;D :rofl: : Re: Nice Cuppa Tea : Morningangel-Iola September 17, 2005, 03:12:25 AM Dognuts surely that's a different kind of delicacy ::)

Ahh today be talk like a pirate day, so we be needin' to explain this in Piratey speak. 3 cups o' tea-grog is a quiet early night in for a blood-thirsty (and indeed tea thirsty) Pirate like Roz, 4 is a number easily achieved in the evening, but add in a mornin' cuppa, a midmornin' cuppa a lunchtime cuppa and an afternoon tea time cuppa ... the maths should never be done ;) This must be above the legal dose... let us be hopin' that they never introduce tea breathalizers ;) |
