Country:  | Now that looks like a nice day, Downwind.
Thanks for the advice lads. I'll not use cream anymore, but milk. I look forward to completing my probationary time with all the dignity and high brow of a good English gentleman.
I've alway heard that the American tea bag is not considered "real" tea, but I can't argue with free tea. But I'll make a run to our local Whole Foods and get some they sell by the ounce.
Well, golly good, pip pip, and have a merry day.

Country: | As a Texan, I am shocked that you are asking to become an honorary Englishman. You should be having beer and BBQ or Tex-Mex for everyone.

Country: | If one raises one's little pinkie while drinking in east Texas, one's redneck buddies will hit said pinkie with a $%#^&*$ hammer. The only tea that is allowed is a tall glass with ice. LOL

Country: | They are Roughnecks, Oilfield workers. They would remove the shotguns from their pickup trucks and shoot any banjos. They are a fiddle bunch. LOL.
I like Wilbur1's plan better.

Country: | Whiskey is for after hours fun.
Funny, I have always raised my pinky up when drinking. Not straight up and sticking out like a $3 pansy, but just slightly off the glass. Always have and I guess I always will.

Country: | When I applied to become British I had to:
1. Recite the complete "Argument" sketch by Monty Python.
2. Convert to The Church of England.
3. Name 2 Britcoms.
4. Own at least five Books on Admiral Nelson.
5. Add "Bobby" and "fuzzy-wuzzie" to my lexicon.
6. Have a shrine somewhere in my home to Manchester United.
7. Recite the rules of Football ( ) and Cricket.
8. Name either Churchill, Maggie or Wellington as my favorite person of all time.
9. Name all the wars under Queen Victoria.
10. Define "bonnet" and "spanner".
Sadly, I didn't make it.
