It is British milk. Even as a Brit myself it astonishes me how much tea some people drink in a day. That shit must literally ooze from the pores of some people.

Huh. Here in NZ tea, (instant) coffee, milk (and usually Milo as well) are virtually always provided by an employer (only by social convention, as far as I can tell, not a legal requirement). I kinda assumed Britain would be the same since we must have got the custom from somewhere.

  In the US most employers used to provide coffee and some kind of creamer free for employees.
  
  About 25-30 years ago the capitalists realized their employees wouldn’t quit over not having free coffee, so they stopped providing free coffee.
  
  Maybe you got the custom from them, but they have decivilized while y’all have maintained?

    We still have coffee and creamer, but it’s the worst shit imaginable, just burnt beans and powdered creamer. I was pissed when I went to our HQ in another state, which is smaller than our site and they had a good brand from my city and multiple real creamers. They had a free soda fountain too which we don’t have, but I’m trying to cut that shit outta my life so that’s probably for the best.

    I’ve worked at engineering offices here in Australia that provided actual full on espresso machines. I don’t get that now I’m in the public service.

I used to drink ten to eleven cups of tea in the UK per day. I quit caffeine for a while because of the headaches. I somehow never put it together that this drug I keep putting into my system would affect my brain …

so I’ve had tea in Ireland and the UK, and my observation is that most people just use an ounce of milk for a cuppa, right?

how much tea is this type of freak, that needs this much milk at work, drinking?

  Tea breaks are a good way of breaking up the work day
