Title: A cup of tea or the Queens speech?
Post by: loulou on May 20, 2007, 05:14:46 pm: If forced to choose, we Brits would take a warm cup of tea over the Queen's Christmas speech.

That's the findings of a new survey on British traditions.

This does not surprise me at all.

Post by: goldencup on May 22, 2007, 10:36:27 am: I got the impression that the survey was about which tradition you would get rid of - if it was a case of never having another cup of tea or never having another Queen's speech, I'm not surprised that the tea won!
