England pennies

*woman ;) tea?

(Well, countrymen is right - I was kind of including FMG as well as you, and a generic plural of people is 'men'... ;)!) Why, thank you! Scone?

I could get pretend I'm a total feminist and get all uppity, but I won't :) because I like scones, as long as it comes with cream! : p

Yes, please!
And a handshake to both of you!
:D

You two seem to be very nice!
And yes, scones as long as it comes with ice cream, as lykashii said! :D

Why back away? We're harmless... Mostly : p
And futurmusicgirl I didn't mean ice cream I meant like clotted cream : p aha but that'd probably be nice too!

.... I don't get it haha! Though I recently found out most Americans don't have kettles! *shudders at the thought*

Wow now I feel stupid : p

Yeah I left school about 5 years ago, haven't done history in about 7 : p but I'm pretty sure we didn't get taught about that!

Haha true! Got taught about Russia and Germany and all their failings rather than our own

What do you mean kettle?

A kettle, to make tea in?

Like a stove top or an electric one? I've heard the electric ones called something else before

Electric ones, still called a kettle though

Ok, I feel like I can take this on authority based on where you are from

Haha yes! I have no idea what else it would be called lol!

I had a roommate from the Republic of Ireland that said the stove top one wasn't a kettle

Oh well I don't have one of those, they're a bit outdated. I don't know what that'd be called either

I let her say what she wanted cuz she was hot and I love the accent

I'm half Irish and I don't have the accent, I'll never forgive my dad for that :P

I love that my kettle post has lived on through this post, lol, we had some international education on that one.

Definitely! I was telling my parents about America and kettles and they didn't believe me!

America is a strange, kettle-less land.

Hey some of us have kettles!

So how do you make tea if you don't have a kettle??

We had this discussion on a previous post:

Aha apparently some make it in the microwave! 0.o

So they put cold water and a tea bag together and then microwave? But then the cold has infected the tea!

I think they heat the water then put the tea bag in?

Nah we heat just the water then pour it into a mug with the tea in it

But that doesn't taste the same (at least not to me ;)).

You're right it doesn't, it doesn't taste as good

I've never tried it... I suppose I should give it a go though for curiosity's sake

Lykashii, I know you weren't talking about ice cream... I was just thinking that it would be nice!

I know some people here that make tea that way... :p

And I've tried it...
But nah, it doesn't taste as good...

Ahh okay ! Makes sense! And my friend told me she does sometimes when she's being lazy XD

Haha xD
