In my country, people who do *not* put milk in tea are regarded as weird.
Is this different in other countries then?
[OTOH, the stuff *I* drink is regarded as weird in just about *every*
country...]

Speak for yourself.
Gentlefolk consider it common to adulterate tea with milk and sugar. In
fact green (China) tea is the only tea for a sophisticated palate.
History aside drinking black tea (India or China) is quite widespread.

Ok, but I still can't see the irony of the situation.
(Irony is always a juxtaposition of opposites. Typically something is
intended, but the exact opposite happens instead.)

Yeah, but time is a completely different beast in the galaxy that's far far
away. Never forget the lesson of the Kessel run...

Find an advert on British TV depicting tea that doesn't have milk in it. ;-)

I do get strange reactions if I ask for an ice cube to cool it down.

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.
> I do get strange reactions if I ask for an ice cube to cool it down.
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...

The only shows I watch are "Bones" and "Big Bang Theory". I think that
probably tells you something about me. :-)

Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
I get "focus follows gaze"?

Ah yes, boy beans. You can make it into meat, milk, butter, bread, and
packaging materials. What the hell *is* this stuff?!
