But if he’d taken the tea, she’d have to ask if he’s a “MIF” or a “TIF”. (milk in first or tea in first.) And you think political arguments get heated.
Gawd blimey!!! Funny strip PJ. We speak mostly British style English with an Australian twist but as time goes by with the influence of TV shows & movies more Americanisms are creeping into our language.
