The milk first and milk second thing has been around for as long as I can recall (I'm 53). Mis and mif! Never a class marker but just a preference.

My mum was half Manc and half Devonian (to one gen) and my dad is half Irish and half North Hants to one gen. I can easily claim all UK nationalities within two generations and German within four. Cornwall, 14th gen via mum, Padstow. I've got the lot!

In reality, you end up with a tea pot going cold with stewed tea in it and you wack some milk and tea in a cup.

Get a grip and drink tea and stop pontificating about the stuff. Its just tea. Yummy!




It's not so important these days since most ceramics don't shatter much.

But is said to still be a class marker.
