Alla:

Heeee, you guys are making me SOOOOO hungry and thirsty with all the 
puddings, jams, scones, clotted creams. I love tea and coffee with 
half and half or milk and sugar or tea with sugar or lemon.

OR just tea with nothing or honey.

Just quick question - what does that have to do with being american?

Liking or not liking tea with milk? :)

I am guessing that this is a joke, but am slow today, so please clue 
me in if there is one :)

Thanks.
