Interesting Facts about English People

Do you know that many Englishmen eat porridge with milk for breakfast? English people often put sugar in their porridge. But porridge is a Scotch dish, and the Scotch always put salt in it, and never sugar.

English people drink a lot of tea. Some English people have tea for breakfast, tea in the middle of the morning, tea after dinner, tea in the middle of the afternoon, tea at tea-time and tea with supper.

At work they take five or ten minutes in the middle of the morning and the afternoon to have a cup of tea.

At tea-time they have one, two, three or more cups of tea, bread and butter, or cakes.

Some English families have “high tea” or big tea, and no supper. For high tea they may have cold meat, bread and butter, cakes, and, of course, a lot of tea.
