Would you like a cup of tea?

In Australia, whenever I told someone that I'd be going to London, approximately 50% of the time someone would put on a bad British accent and say, "Would you like a cup of tea?".

And the funny thing is- they do say it here! I've been asked if I want a cup of tea quite a few times. My tea intake has actually increased.

When I was staying with Michelle's family, we were actually woken up by Michelle's stepsister bringing us cups of tea at 7am in the morning. I was really surprised that they value their tea so much and apparently muttered something unintelligible and fell back asleep. I can't believe someone would wake me up to give me ... tea!!
