Couldn't a Yank that spent a few years in the UK while serving in the USAF
know it as well?

Sigh, it was just an American Revolution joke. Nevermind.

P.S. I actually listen to a BBC radio program called TeaTime
via the Internet. Lot's of us know what tea time is, really.

Yup. Without the help of France the US would be an English-speaking
country
today.

Why?

You do understand that it was Arnold that won in the North?

Without Arnold, there would have been no 300 iron cannon for Green to drag
to Yorktown. Victory had nothing to do with the French, outside the number
of Merchants French privateers took. And then the US had to go to war with
those same pirates, less than 20 years later.

But imagine, without France you'd still have the 5 o'clock tea and a
Queen :-p

Isn't tea time 4 o'clock?

Only old ladies and sick people drink tea.

I have to beg to differ, there, Art. If you're going to be way out
in the boonies, cruising timber for Chadbourne's Mill, or International
Paper, or whatever, Tea's a lot more logistically suitable than
Coffee. Of course, the way those Canadien treecutters taught me to
make it, it comes out about 20 weight, and will etch an enamelled
steel cup.

(But then there's Tea Peritonitis to watch out for.)

My family was Irish. Dinner was at 5. Early to bed, early to rise!

While Art was taking it easy in the wild blue yonder, I was working on
a farm in Concord MA, pitching hay in the August sun.

We had a thermos of tepid tea, blacker than coffee. My father would
ration it out to cut the thirst and wash the dust out of your mouth.

Twenty-five cents an hour. There were gangs of kids who came out from
Boston and lived in the old CCC barracks. They were parceled out to
the farms as they were needed.

Traditional English tea time is 3 o'clock?
