A Great Tea Empire
Tea: forever disputed, never quite out of the public-eye…yes, the celebrity of the hot-drinks world. The Joan Collins of liquid in a mug–
For all the responsibilities asked of it, tea has never veered from its wholesome roots. And Tea has long had a mountain of pressure on its shoulders; not only in the UK, but anywhere where people were able to appreciate only the finest of things. So many reasons for existence, AND such cultural significance! Would the British Empire have been the same without tea? No! Would the Nazis have been defeated if a captain had not taken the initiative to instruct the forces to sit down and ‘have a brew?’ Would our society have advanced into the rich and diverse alco-pops loving, beer-swilling, football obsessed civilization it is without tea? Of course not. None of these things would have happened. People think that it was the wheel that made human-beings. What rubbish that is! What if tea hadn’t of been invented, perish the thought? I know, I know–don’t think about it. It really is too dreadful to contemplate. That’s why I believe we should have a national tea hour every single day of our good year. Why not? A time to celebrate this wondrous and brilliantly English past-time. It would make men smile in the street, make strangers unite: soon, within 60 minutes, a peace-loving state of euphoria would come over the nation. The result would be breathtaking. It brings a tear to my eye just thinking of the announcements on the radio: “Stop what you are doing people of Great Britain, for now is the time (much clapping and cheer, and probably parades too—not forgetting horses, bands blowing horns and general tea-fuelled camaraderie) Now is the time we take charge of our happiness–once and for all!”
Important news, the ski chalets bookings for our next Christmas trip have been sorted out. I need part of the fee by Saturday, after all it was my new years resolution to book early!
