Okay.

Hello there, welcome back to the podcast.

This is episode 420. And in episode 420 I've chosen to talk about my favorite herb, which like millions of other British people and countless others

around the world I consume on a daily basis. It calms my nerves, it raises my morale, and it helps me to socialise. Queen Victoria famously

used it, and the Beatles took it regularly during the recording of their most inspired music and

even sang about it in a few of their songs. I'm talking of course about tea. As everyone knows,

T is very popular with people all over the UK, from all regions, backgrounds and

social classes, whether you're the Queen herself or you're the guy who cleans the

road outside her massive house, everyone loves a brew.

The British Empire was built on tea, wasn't it?

Goodness knows, I've made enough references to it in my episodes.

I'm even drinking a cup of it right now.
