Before my Dad retired, his job took him to a lot of military establishments. He used to refer to "standard army-issue tea" - that is, white-two-sugars. Apparently it was habitually served that way because "everyone" took it like that.

Earlier today, making tea for [livejournal.com profile] hjalfi, I observed that my default assumption is white-no-sugar. I have no idea of the prevalence of various tea-preferences, so figure I need a quick poll:

I in no way promise to remember this next time I make you tea, by the way.

[Poll #1227748]


And yes, tea-tasting. For those who were interested, I know I haven't sorted anything out yet. Life's a bit fraught at present.

It surprises me every time I make tea at work (not often, because I don't drink much tea at work) that I'm the only person in the office who drinks it the 'normal' way - there's one white-but-with-only-a-tiny-splash-of-milk, one white-with-one, one white-with-a-sweetener, one black, and one hot-water-which-has-only-just-heard-of-teabags.

(And I've never heard 'NATO' for white-with-two.)
