Have you ever had a cup of tea or coffee?

[*Miss Daisy*]

Tea with very very little milk at home.

Very strong coffee with a little more milk at work.

Too pernickity about to tea to have it at work. There are very few people I trust to make tea for me.

Drink coffee at home very occasionally when I am hung over.

Yes you are a freak

exactly how i feel about tea/coffee

specially not trusting people to make me tea - i have coffee in work to save any disappointment.

I started drinking weak tea when I was 5 or so and by the time I was a teenager I was a confirmed tea addict. Until relatively recently I almost never drank coffee. I used to think I didn't like it. Now I can't imagine living without either of them.

I need an option for "I don't really like them on their own but with enough sugar and milk-stuff then they're pretty good".

I used to hate tea when I was younger - always had to have coffee. Then I went into hospital in my early 20s and they just came around with a trolley and plonked a cup of tea in front of me twice a day, so I learned to like it or go thirsty.

oh no, you're not alone, I work with a few people that don't like hot drinks. I feel sad for them

don't feel sad.

the only time it's any kind of drawback is when people offer to make you a drink and you decline, and they think you're being over-polite.

but that's a small price to pay for a non-furry tongue and breath that doesn't ming of stale hot milk. so nerr.

 

[Tank Girl]

put your non-furry tongue away missy

I feel sad because making people cups of tea is a nice thing to do, and when they say no, they don't get me doing a nice thing for them

though your comment about the breath thing reminded me of a really lovely teacher I had at middle school who's breath reeked of tea and fags she was ace

i can't believe i'm the only one who's voted for my option

My granddad gave me sugary milky tea in a bottle when I was a baby. But he was Irish.

My babies all had tea in a bottle when they were toddlers.

I love tea and coffee and drink loads of both throughout the day.

Tea has to be builders tea, not fussed if I have sugar or not and I like my coffee with lots of milk and 1/2 a sugar.

Correction: you MAKE loads of tea and coffee and then leave them to go cold while you rush around organising children. Then you make more.

My dad used to put Benylin in my tea when I was a nipper to make me sleep - is that child abuse??

Thinking about it, it was like the continuation of the Victorian habit of dosing babies with "Godfrey's Quiet Child" opium tincture! (May also explain my v.occasional use of opiates...)
