Fancy a Cuppa Then, Mate?

I just finished my second cup of British tea. I've never had tea with milk before, but it adds a great deal to it! Also, the cookies served on the side of the beverage are called "biscuits." I've learned quite a few new phrases that I've begun to use with the locals just so I won't be misunderstood. It may be a while before I start saying "cell phone" again instead of "mobile." Anyway, the jet-lag is gone, and the food here is just fine so far, contrary to what literally everyone who has been to England told me. They don't have my good ol' Quaker oatmeal, so I had to buy some generic "porridge oats" and a bag of brown sugar to mix in with it. I won't starve. And just in case any of my fellow Americans are concerned about me, rest assured... I still like coffee better.
