As for tea - well this is important:
Once upon a time i worked as a labourer for a builder and we were up at the crack of sparrowfart to go to jobsites. Nonetheless when it was 8 am, he'd call out for 'Polly', which is a slang for 'Polly put the kettle on' and that was always the new guy's job.
On one occasion we were at a place and the local council inspector was there and so was an architect whose design it was this guy was building. At 7:50.
'Polly", he shouted and so on the kettle went. i was close enough to hear the final part of the conversation and it went like this between him and the architect.
'I've produced new plans to incorporate the lift (elevator for you guys) shaft and accommodate the extra foundations that will be needed'.
'That's not what's important', says my builder. 'What's important is a nice cup of tea'.
At 8:15 he'd dessicate the architects plans, but in the meantime - cheese sandwiches and tea.
