NO BUT THE THING ABOUT MILK IN TEA, THOUGH, IS THAT IT DEPENDS. I mean, if you're making tea properly -- in a pot, with leaves -- then the milk goes in FIRST. But if you're making it the easy way -- tea bag in a mug -- and sometimes you have to because we drink a lot of tea -- then milk goes in second. But only AFTER you have removed the tea bag, because anything else is absolutely vile and nauseating and makes me want to vomit.

And of course it depends on the tea. Some should never have milk, ever.

And digestives are fine so long as they're McVities. I prefer a good HobNob though.

...is there a "most British person in the universe" competition I wasn't informed of?

Oh goodness, I wouldn't win. I think my friend Rupert might win; he has a Barbour jacket and a dog that wears one of those padded tartan blankets and he works for the National Trust. And his name is RUPERT, for goodness' sake. He's also the sweetest, politest man ever to live, which helps.
