Never been to the UK, huh?

60-million people aren’t wrong. You’ve clearly never had a good cuppa. I can say objectively and without doubt that there is not anything better in this world, and the fact that such a thing is unobtainable in the US is the thing I dread most about my visits there.

A good cuppa is the liquid of the Gods. Anyone who claims otherwise has never had one.
