    LOL no does not make you weird. I've notice you Aus chickies call it tea. Just wanted to ask.

    When I think of tea .. it's like the English. At about 10:00 in the morning and it's actually TEA with tarts and cake and sweet/savoury bites.

    lol I was nearly going to say in my last post "are you aussie" but thought if you were I might offend you and maybe I had been saying tea my whole life and people were just laughing behind my back. I was sure I had seen other people use this term but you had me second guessing myself
    Are you english??

    NOOOOOO not english ... South African. And it would not have offended me, even if I were Aussie.

    The first time I read it, it was someone posting about how she made her husband tea after work and I though "Ok, lucky b@stard he gets tea (sweetthings) after work AND dinner" So the next poster said that sometimes her husband makes tea for them ... and I was like " What the heck am I missing, these crazy aussies are a bunch of tea drinkers!!" I figured out soon enough that they were actually speaking about a MEAL. Still wish I had a husband that likes making our tea
