I've taken to not watching TV any more, mostly because there's nothing 
decent on, but also partly because watching adverts is like going on a 
bad acid trip. Talking fish, dancing telephones, flying cars, dogs 
playing bingo, and even an aristocrat meercat. No, I don't believe 
everything I see in adverts. But I think they accurately reflect local 
culture. ;-)

Try another: Go to any place in the UK that sells tea, and see whether 
it comes with a pot of milk. I rest my case.

What *I* find strange is that my dad buys "milk" that's made from a 
*plant*, and has to be *shaken* before you drink it. That's just wrong...
