We won two world wars drinking tea.
And then lost the empire and all our heavy industry.

Never mind that other countries like Japan were kicking our arses in manufacturing, the unions said we MUST have a break for tea twice a day or else we're walking out. Well done tea drinkers.
 
I like a drop of Assam.
Just had a pot of tea up at Hownsgill, with my sausage and egg sandwich, or bap, as some call it.
No idea what type of tea it was, but it was lovely.
Ohh. Years since I had a sausage sarnie...Maybe I shouldn't say that on here! But it would HAVE to be with tea. Never coffee. :lol:

Japan could take advantage of not being able to spend money on arms after world war 2 by spending on manufacturing. Same as Germany. Don't try and blame anything else.

Aye reeto. You're right. The unions and their ridiculous demands had absolutely nowt to do with bringing British industry to its knees.

Ps between 1978-1979 there were 523 walkouts at British Leyland's Longbridge plant costing some GBP 400 million in lost production.
