Oh yeah, I forgot that the nickname for west Essex was Tanzania.

No it's not. I thought you meant East Essex.

I'll bring the soy sauce, but you have to lick it off yourself.

I remember reading 'The Da Vinci Code' and there being a British character in it. In the book, the american main character incorrectly tells the British character that milk should be put in tea. The British character then finds this a terrible misconception, claiming tea should have lemon in it.

So apparently us Brits put lemon in our tea. I can't remember seeing anyone do this in my life. It got me to thinking, what other steriotypes about British people can you think of which are complete Bulls**t?

Yes, we put a slice of lemon in tea. Better than milk.

Do you not drink tea? Or only tea bags?

Mine's a cup of Earl Grey with a slice of lemon and a slice of Victorian sponge cake. Thank you kindly.

Who's for a game of croquet on the lawn?

I used to play croquet on the lawn when I was little. We have no lawn presently.

I'm not that posh. Tea with milk and sugar does me fine.

I'm from Southend in Essex (pronounced Souffend if you're a true Essex gal). There's nothing wrong with people from Essex... they're just a bit more vibrant, that's all
