Do you fancy a CUPPA?
Do you fancy a BREW? (North of England) Do you fancy a cup of Rosie? (cockney rhyming slang for a cup of tea) How do you take your tea? How do you take it? (= do you want milk? do you want sugar?...) "one sugar" in this case means "one teaspoon of sugar" Can I have it quite strong, please? Quite milky. The 7/8 things you need: a kettle a cup or mug a teaspoon a teabag (or loose tea leaves + tea strainer) water milk sugar Well, let's say 9: there is no tea without a good biscuit to DIP or DUNK into your cup! (not recommended if you want to follow the etiquette) |
