IMI Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 It always seems that around 1900 GMT all y'all Englishmen disappear for a while. Where do y'all go? Dinner/Supper? Or is it off to the local for a pint? I lived in Merry Ol' England for two years and I must say....(dramatic pause)....I wish I was there right now! I love it! I lived on RAF Chicksands and in St. Neots. Frequented Bedford and Cambridge quite often. I hope to make it back someday soon for a visit. If ever again I am single I may try to move there.

Sayonara Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Personally I was having dinner, although yesterday I ate at 22.40 so don't draw any sweeping conclusions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Tea time's always around 7 here, seems to be somewhat of a tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMI Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 I remembered tea time being around 11am. Guess I was drunk by 7 I was drinking Tetley but it was a bitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMI Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 I've not been there. Dreadful is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 It's full of people called Tracey who invariably seem to wear tracksuits and giant gold hoop ear-rings. Oh yes, and sovereign rings - because they are so tasteful and elegant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMI Posted August 27, 2003 Author Share Posted August 27, 2003 Sounds like the Fiona's in Bedford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudde Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 well look at the bright side...at least you don't live in Phoenix^_^ ...wish I had tea time...I think Americans should have a break everyday, and we'll call it "pizza-time" ...first we'll have to destroy the line of restaurants with that name;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMI Posted August 28, 2003 Author Share Posted August 28, 2003 I've always wanted to go to Phoenix. I almost moved there. I was tired of the east coast rain and snow that the Baltimore/Washington area has to offer. I like a good hot dry heat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 Yup, tea time here too, but I usualy leave about 6:30 coz I`m the cook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 coincidentally, I have a relative lives in Phoenix. anyway, pizza time's good too. it does sound a bit better than tea time, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1917 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Went away to a friends house for his leaving party - he'f off to Niger for a year to do a gap year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 hmm, don't think I'd go there for a gap year myself. Then again I prolly wouldn't do a gap year. What's he doing there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg1917 Posted August 29, 2003 Share Posted August 29, 2003 Conservation work or something. Im not sure what his actual day to day schedule would look like but his long term goal is to work for the UN or Foreign Office, in which case things like Gap Years, his Gold Duke of Edinburgh's Award and the fact he'll be fluent in french when he comes back will help greatly.

Dave Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 Yeah, it will. I have a friend who's doing the same sort of thing, but she's going to do some voluntary work for poor people somewhere in the UK with some Christian people or something.
