Notes from the U.K. 
In my experience, context tells you what is meant by ‘having tea’ and stopping over for tea generally meant afternoon to early evening. It’s rediculous how good tea biscuit are! United’s for me please, tea black… and hot!

I’ll put the kettle on. We have a packet of rich tea biscuits somewhere, so I’ll go hunt them out.

A few years ago I worked with Irish and English contractors, there was always lack of milk on site, as you could only order milk with your coffee at the automatic coffee machine, and the fresh milk in the bottle was unproperly used by contractors to make their breakfast with oaths in the morning… .this Irish boss never knew how we diluted the milk bottle with water by the end of the week …lol, I hope he never reads this comment on your blog ;P

Let’s hope he doesn’t, but I want to know about those breakfasts with oaths. I mean, I thought I swore a lot, but it takes me a while to work up to it in the morning.

not on a construction site, they start working very early and when the secretary arrives at 9.00 am they are hungry like horses, making oats and milk in the microwave…not to mention what they ate at lunch: baps with rasher, sausage and black pudding… not available in Belgium, but one of the contractors’ girlfriend brought it on site everyday! Lol!
