skwidwurd: hmmmmm.......and did she come from a wealthy background? just interested. i doubt if anyone really notices or even cares these days but it is quite fascinating
They were not as kids they were of middle class.
then my aunt became the first woman manager of Birks jewelers and well look out the high class was introduced and she taught the whole family ettiquette and banquette dining procedures and everything like that. We used to joke that all the kids had to go thru Auntie's ettiquette class through before you graduate....LOL

so there we are then. if you ever wondered why she always poured the tea before adding the milk, it was because of her social standing - and the fact that she could afford ceramic cups. did she drink with her little finger held up?

Most definately...and she would ge on your case if your elbows were on the table...and if you ate anything with your fingers...and if you used the salad or dessert fork not in the right order...and the napkin always went on your knee before any food in the mouth and never ever wipe hands on the close or table cloth...but all in all she was very loving though. She did it because she cared about us and yes i went through it. and i thank her now because if i were ever to be put in a position. I could make it through and know what to do.

Yes it's milk before the tea and as for stirring it's clockwise.

No!!!! The tea has to steep properly first for about three minutes...and the spoon has to be able to stand straight up without being aided! Milk?? Thats for softies and skirts...I prefer turkish coffee

skwidwurd: or is it the other way around? god i can never remember. anyway.......does it make the tea taste any different? oh..........which way do we stir it? clockwise or anti clockwise?
We mix milk with tea and add some ice cubes ( Thai people call it Cha Yin)... and the stirring... we do it bothways.
and the taste?..... the taste is delicioso!!!

skwidwurd: nu uh. i'm talking about etiquette. in england there is a right way and a wrong way to make tea. there are routines and procedures to follow when pouring tea such as adding the milk before the tea (or it could be after, i dunno do i )
I think the Et-E-ket method is before the tea..
personally I prefer mine after.. but then.. I am a rebel.
