I'm American and even I know how to make a proper cuppa. Though, I do understand that the milk/tea order is contentious even amount Brits.
.
I've always thought that you should put in the sugar first so that the pouring action will stir it, then add milk to cool it slightly for drinking.
If you put the water in first, it scorches the milk.

But we don't give a monkey's, and will hunt you down if you have the audacity to do so.
Plus, it's not a real cuppa, unless it's with "Yorkshire Tea".
Pg tips and tetley are the free crap you get at work.
Haha fair enough.. this accent business is tricky to figure out online. I mean, aren't we all just reading these words in our own accents? I know I am! (I'm Canadian)
It's true for most places like Britain, Australia, New Zealand. You are sort of sarcastically nice to people you want to punch in the face and call your friends names and tease them and make fun of them.
I live in new Zealand and I must agree that I am polite to people I hate etc- I just think its normal and have got into some awkward situations with some people who don't do the same as me!
Oh god yes. Just the other day this was my conversation:
Person friend hates: So you can come?
Friend: Of course! Wouldn't miss it for the world!
Person friend hates: Awesome! I gotta go, love you, bye!
Friend: Love you too!
Friend turns to me: I hate her so much.
Me: then why do you-
Friend: Oh shut up you twat!
Averting eye contact is somthing everyone does when they lock eye contact by mistake, also I've been to America and a lot of these are true for them to.
I was going through just waiting to call it out...every single one is like my life story. I spent like 10 minutes on the tea one like, "who does that? It's just...it's just weird really..."

It changed some time after the 70's for some reason
