For goodness sake don't beat yourself up. You are forgiven.

Sorry. Really I am. I didn't think it was that bad but yes, I was rude.

And we have tea every day!

Time for me to apologise. I've had my tea. Sorry.

Yes, snobbish. And to hear me, your think I was a cockney guttersnipe . But tea for heaven's sake! My mum was snobby and used to call it "high tea" or dinner. Both parents were disappointed when we grew up with the local accent.

I am so non u I actually have a three piece suite (shock horror) in my lounge from where I go to the loo. We do use napkins ( in silver rings) at dinner, after breakfast and lunch. We do have a dining room ,used everyday until about May when we eat in the conservatory.

Does it really ?

wot Sun 03-Apr-16 18:37:32

I'm sorry, but I can't abide it when people call their main meal "tea" I think it's really common and makes me inwardly sneer.
