Ok so I finished the afternoon off with a few beers.
It is my favourite meal of the week.
Ska
mmmmm liver n bacon n mashed potatoes n cabbage n gravy n carrots yum yum
In my line of work heavy drinking is a requirement of the, people find the work stressful and relive it by drinking. The amount of negative/borderline insulting comments Ive received when just asking for a soft drink is incredible.
SKA_DEMON: Liver and Bacon casserole - In your neck of the woods I hear they eat it raw? With livers ripped from wandering tourists.
Is that so?
No doubt, they only break them ;)
>>Any man who worries about what other people think when it comes to what he is drinking doesn't really deserve to use the title "man."
You're completely missing the point here. The original question is: Man Law?
If 3 webmasters set down at a table in a Pub in the afternoon - is it ok for one to order tea?
Of course he can order tea. Of course he could be his "own man" and give a flying fig what everyone else thinks. BUT... Don't be surprised if you're not asked to the Pub next time.
Here's an example that happened to me (true story):
Most of my friends are football (American) fans. Three of my friends are Dallas Cowboy fans. I love the NY Giants. For many years we did a lot of things together, but when it came to watching football, I was told - Dallas Cowboy fans only. And for those of you that don't think I was really their friend, I was in two of their wedding parties (the third guy never got married).
Tea is a vile drink much loved by the lower orders, it tastes like a weak solution of soil and it's one saving grace is that it is a mild diuretic. I wouldn't force feed it to my worst enemy, I wouldn't even wash my underwear in it!
I have hated the stuff since it was forced on me as a child. The concept of drinking tea as an accompaniment to a meal is weird. It makes the food taste bad and after a while you experience feelings of nausea.
I can't believe that anyone actually likes the stuff they just get used to it.
So no a real man doesn't drink tea in a pub or anywhere else. He should dink a nice fizzy water with ice and a slice like the rest of us.
