Blair pines for 'good cup of tea'

Blair pines for 'good cup of tea'

When challenged by producer Madhulika Sikka, who said it was impossible to buy a good cup of tea in London any more.

Tony Blair said "This is a serious allegation,".

"I fear you may be right. This is a British tradition that must not be lost. If I were running for office again, I'd make it a major part of any platform.

"It's got to be properly strong, it's got to have the right colour.

"The trouble is, not many people do it like that.

"That's why I drink coffee when I'm in mainland Europe, because they just can't make a cup of tea."

Preparing oneself for tea with the Queen

original article By BBC News Online

"Initially one should address her as Your Majesty, and thereafter Ma'am. Then it's Your Majesty again as one takes one's leave."

Everyone but the Queen Mother has to stand up when the Queen enters a room - even her nearest and dearest, should they ever be sitting together watching Eastenders or playing Scrabble.

Nigel Evans, of Majesty magazine said: "It comes from the idea that the Queen is never off duty. Even in a private residence if she walks into a room, everyone has to stand up."

Then there's the convention of bowing and curtseying. Women should curtsey - "a little bob is quite sufficient" said Mr Williamson.

And men have to bow. Bowing on the face of it seems quite a complicated affair. Bowing from the waist is definitely out, and "strictly for the pantomime" according to the Spectator.

Instead men should either bow from the shoulders, or bob from the neck.
