The show "Wheeler Dealers" (a couple of blokes buy a cheap used car, one 
buys the parts, the other repairs them, then they sell the car for a 
profit) did an accounting of the show. They showed the series as breaking 
even, but there was a line item for $23,657 worth of tea that seemed a bit 
made up.

Our US builders brought their own variety of energy drinks (yuck) during a 
recent kitchen remodel, but we do have an Irish friend. As soon as I hear 
her car pull up, I'll take two of my largest mugs, drop in a bag of PG Tips 
in each and put the kettle on. I know better than to ask if she'd like a 
cup.

(my wife is English, so I don't have to ask her either)
