No surprise that there is a huge snob factor with the tea, but even after 2 and a half years there are still things that will shock me. Business trip in Brussels, breakfast at the hotel. 2 British colleagues ask for tea. They get nicely serving piping hot earl grey tea, and the conversation goes like this:
British 1: earl grey tea?! In the morning???
British 2: I know, can you believe it?
British 1: no! This is outrageous.
British 2:: only on the continent.
British 1: I mean seriously, earl grey in the morning???
