Brits don't do cookies. Biscuits, maybe - and dunked.

I don't drink coffee, can't even stand the smell - YUK.

Now tea, I drink litres of the stuff every day, with a dash of milk and
sugar.

Rarely eat biscuits, though they are very nice.

Not often use a tea-pot, usually make the tea in the cup.

On the subject of coffee, it should be freshly ground, none of this
instant stuff..!

Oh, and strong enough to stand your spoon up in..!

PS I'm not "a Brit", I'm British - there's a difference..!

Ah, you are missing out on one of life's greatest pleasures, even greater
than that of baiting Dexter ;-)

Litres..? Are they those funny foreign measurements..?

Just as funny as the foreign measurements this country had been using
for a while before? Though don't let Dexter know!
The old 'imperial' system came from France and Italy!

Sorry, was brought up on metric and was only taught metric. :-)

In that case you should have attended school in the days when teachers
taught children instead of sitting around watching children playing on
computers all day long and collecting a massive salary for doing it .

I was brought up on the Imperial system. Then, in my teens, I
discovered how much easier the metric system makes life.

I've spent these last 40-ish years using the metric system, and
I wouldn't like to go back to Imperial!

A REAL man makes his tea from Turkish coffee.

Worse than funny. To use them, you have to know how to multiply and
divide by ten. They are insidious -- the integrity of the British
currency would be threatened if just anybody could figure out what the
Hell a Guinea is. Much better that one's weight is described as e.g.
twelve stone and 37 pebbles.
