My (USA citizen) Mom just cannot fathom why my father and I partake of such a hot beverage in his garden, when the temperature is in the 100sF.
Believe me, we have tried, ever so hard, that hot originated in the tropics.
Alas to no avail.
My sympathies go with you Kukri :laugh4:
I was just teasing! Pfft. :wink:Quote:

I grew up as an American kid overseas - so I learned both systems side-by-side, and am equally comfortable with either. For most average (non-technical/scientific) folks, I really don't think either system is "better" than the other. People are just most comfortable with what they learned growing up.Quote:

What do florid goats have to do with it? :wink:
Imperial certainly has its uses, but this weekend I had to work out how many tiles I needed for my bathroom and I was very happy to be working in square metres thank you very much.
OT, iced tea is rampantly metrosexual. Oh, and BTW all these fancy teas are not tea either. If you can't imagine it being brewed by a sapper on the north west frontier* than its not tea.
(I'll make an exception for chinese tea since a billion people can't be wrong).
(*this means the Khyber pass, not Seattle)
Both. In summer ice tea, in winter (hot) tea.
Depending on circumstances:
In summer: Beer or Hot Tea
In winter: Beer or Hot Tea
Never acquired the taste for hot tea (or really any hot beverage). Don't drink iced tea that much either, it's only good if it's early in the day, and you are sitting in a restaurant in the south with a hangover. Sweet brewed iced tea is just the thing. Unsweetened iced tea is somewhat pointless.
call me crazy.. always ice tea. I am just so hot that I always need something to cool down ~D
Tea.
I get a choice between English and Chinese.
Chinese tea with ice is just... :inquisitive:
Unfortunately, what we have here is a case of one American letting their whole country down again. You should be ashamed of yourself STFS, it seems the old colony has fallen quite a way since we decided to start the experiment and see how they got running things themselves. Oh well, I suppose when we get round to it we shall ahve to take it back and show them the error of their ways.Quote:

Hot Tea in South California in the summer? No Thanks, I'll take my beer :2thumbsup:
Though I refuse to drink Ice Tea
Coffee in the morning, Tea for afternoon, and hot chocolate for the evening.
Tea is for everywhere, be it hot or cold tea in a hot or cold place. I would happily drink tea in South California. It may be 20 odd degrees Centigrade here, but I happily drink tea...Quote:

I prefer Iced tea over any other tea. Particularly lemonade iced tea. Not just tea is for me or any other tea but plain iced tea. Down here in texas we drink lots of iced tea.:laugh4:
