The most British thing I have heard during these attacks
 

A reporter just talking about the attempted explosion at Shepard's Bush stops for a second and then says 'the tea van just arrived, the police will be here for some time'.

he he he Nice :thumbsup Keep a stiff Upper Lip :pimp

yay! the tea van has arrived:)

I love tea

The TEA van!?!? I love my Brit friends but that is so damn gay.

In the UK when you hear the hardest of hard guys say they want a brew they are talking about tea..

that they still think about tea, i can't believe it

:1orglaugh true

I am a total tea addict myself!

hahahhahah nice :1orglaugh

If they are going to be on the scene for hours they need their tea..trust me.lol

Gotta have those cups of tea as you work... :pimp

He forget to add ''I'll be right back too''

I don't know what kinda hard guys you know, but my Bristol crew means beer not tea, unless they are at home with their mum on a Sunday or something.

LOL, gotta love tea

Go to any building site or hard labor job and people are drinking tea...they drink beer to but I usually heard that referenced as a pint and tea as a brew :)

They drink tea like we drink coffee. Anywhere there's a group of police on a scene for a long period of time in Canada or the US, someone is getting coffee.

"Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty - never give in except to convictions of honor and good sense"

Hard-Boiled crime scene, north america:
"Jesus christ O'malley, look at this mess. We're going to need coffee. And donuts. Jones, make yourself useful and go get us some fucking coffee and donuts already."

Hard-Boiled crime scene, england:
"A spot of earl grey, old chap? May smooth out the rough edges on this rather rough day, what what? Oh yes, the missus brought along the peak freans too. Fancy a biscuit?"

:winkwink:

when the reports came in of the attempts today the convesation in my office went like this

Person 1-"Oh shit, there's been some more bombings in london"
Person 2-"I'll put the ketle on"
Distant Back Ground Voice - "Looks like the threat level is upto A Strong Tetlys with 2 Sugars, which is a shame as it had just done back down to Earl Gray"

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

you brits are great.

The way that you can tell when a Mardi Gras parade is on it's way down a street is the appearance of the coffee/doughnut van run by the New Orleans Police :)

lol...whatever the question is the answer is to put the kettle on

Always!

which is kinda wierd as we have a tea urn in the office.....

lol..I knew...but I liked my idea better

Am I the only Brit alive that detests tea? Gimme coffee (and plenty of it) any day

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

wait untill you watch cricket. I love taking americans to the cricket, they are so amazed when the game stops so the players can go for tea. Only in England can a world cup stop so the players can go for tea :)

You have to drink from a little cup and stick your little finger in the air

No, I hate it as well, much prefer coffee, but that's not the point!

that's not gay, it's just british

lol..yes that did take me some getting used to

yeah, a latte would be gay

Let's try to see it on the lighter side..lol
