HOT
versus
COLD TEA

Would you believe that if, on your travels, you might end up at, say, McDonalds in Times Square, New York City, and ask, in a broad british accent, "Could I have a nice cup of Tea please" to the chap or chapess behind the counter, one mightent be served an 'Iced Tea'. Shocking as it may seem, this is the absolute truth. In fact, this seems to be the norm in the States. Thus the poor travelling vunerable out-of-sorts englishman may have to stress that he requires a 'HOT' Tea (please) and then to suffer the barrage of semi- confusion. Oh dear...

Now, this is neither here nor there. It simply shows the great cultural differences that may occur. But interestingly enough, it does occasionally bring this debate to mind. I mean, an englishman might argue: What on earth would one find interesting about a tea gone cold? Oh well... im sure theres another point of view to this. Im not gonna lose sleep over it. I just think its time to put the kettle on. Furthermore, I do have a feeling that the Aardvarks of the world would probably have a much better angle on this debate.
