But with ones tea, one has buttered Abernethy biscuits. Not Thicko Tea Biscuits. 
What do you leave a tea pot to do, in your culture?

Where I live you brew tea. In t'North they leave it to mash well they do in Yorkshire. In both areas tea that is stewed has been left too long in the pot and is not fit for drinking.
You run a bath but you might draw water from a well if you live in a very old house. My parents would put a sheet of newspaper over the front of a newly lighted coal fire to cause the fire to draw. In all areas you can draw the curtains. Until today I had never heard of leaving tea to draw.

I grew up in east cumbria ( Westmorland) and tea was massed not mashed.

The tea is left to brew. Unless it's left for a really long time to get really strong, then it is being left to stew. Stewed tea is great, it goes bright orange when you put the milk in

Agreed.
You brew tea, and then if you leave it too long, it stews. I've heard mash for brew as well.
You run or draw a bath. (BTW, I think we say 'draw' because it has the secondary sense of 'pull', as in 'to draw the curtains' or 'to be drawn into something', or 'the free champagne at the event was a big draw'). Sounds perfectly natural to me.
You pull a pint (or a sickie!)

Are you from that part of the South (of Scotland) where they call fizzy drinks "skoosh"?weepiper said:

weepiper said:Nope... fizzy drinks are pop (or Ginger for Irn Bru)no idea where the stooshing thing comes from but that is what tea does.
Ginger is Glasgow generic for any fizzy drink.

well, this is a truly fascinating thread
tea - brew or steep.
bath - run. never used draw in relation to a bath in my entire life.
and being from scotland, fizzy drinks were always called juice, never pop and sometimes skoosh. I still call fizzy drinks juice but people just don't get it
oh, also, I use the phrase "coming through" as in, I'm coming through to London this weekend, which is apparently a scottish thing too - I never knew!

WW Tyrion do?
I makea put of tea and leave it to brew (Lancashire). My gran used to mash a pot of tea I think.
When I moved to the NE I caused much hilarity when I asked if anyone if the office fancied a brew when I was making a round of drinks - after 6 years I think they've got used to it now

Brew, but I have heard the word Mash used quite often.

In my part of Scotland, lemonade is generic for any flavour of fizzy drink. I'm aware that will come as a surprise to people from other parts of the world, but there you go.Sasaferrato said:Ginger is Glasgow generic for any fizzy drink.

"Mash" which features often in the 50s work of Alan Sillitoe, surely refers to an age before teabags, when you had to press the loose leaves to get the flavour out.
