My apologies Ishbel, I didn't mean to suggest that!
Great Britain has been drinking tea like that for hundreds of years, and isn't apt to change anytime soon...
Its us goofy colonials that have the different tastes...no doubt stemming from pioneering days, when there wasn't necessarily a source of milk by winter (too cold for the cows!), or in the Great Depression of the '30's, when milk would be "reserved" for the youngest child or children...
Anyways, can I "accurately relate" that it was a long time ago that my grannies told "me" that?
