25 minutes in, and already two mentions of gay. Interesting.
They've already paired Watson and Holmes 3 times.
............okay there is no point in counting anymore. XDDDD

(In their defense, 221B Baker St is really similar in look and layout to the place they're using (above a shop, vaguely similar architecture). But I can SEE Euston Road behind them in some shots.)

Oh. I was in Target the other day, and I was behind these two old English ladies, who were talking about how back in their day, they would go shopping with "their mums" after tea at 4 in the afternoon. In the most quaint accents I have ever heard. I could not stop listening even though I had absolutely no idea what they were talking about.
Yes. That's what we do in the States. We eavesdrop on Brits because it's hard to believe that your accents actually exist outside of movies.

I THOUGHT THAT IT ONLY HAPPENED IN MOVIES AND IN THE PAST.

THOUGH THE DEFINITION OF "TEA" VARIES DEPENDING ON WHICH PART OF THE COUNTRY YOU'RE IN. (YES, WE DO IT JUST TO CONFUSE YOU PEOPLE. :D)

WHY DON'T WE HAVE TEA TIME
WE NEED AN OFFICIAL REASON TO BREAK IN THE AFTERNOON

What's an 'elevenses.'

Tea in southern England = tea (+cakes/scones + sandwiches depending on how posh you are) at around... 4:30pm?
Tea in northern England = the main meal in the evening (what you and I understand as DINNER or SUPPER)
Dinner in northern England = meal in the middle of the day (what we usually call LUNCH)
Elevenses = like tea, a light snack between meals, but happening at around 11am. Because we need our cakes/biscuits (English ones)/chocolate bars/crisps at that time of the day. XDDD

1. Your Posh Level directly corresponds to the number of sandwiches and/or cakes/scones you have at tea time.
2. Northern Brits must either go to bed really early or starve at night.
3. Elevenses is essentially "second breakfast," which is what I learned from hobbits.
no subject
2. They're simply... different. XD
3. You could say that. Although one'd imagine second breakfast being something much larger than an elevenses (which these days is usually a chocolate bar or something like that.)

VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD!
As yuki said, PERFECTLY STRAIGHTFORWARD!
Re: VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD!
Re: VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD!
I imagine Holmes would be the kind of person to have tea at four... when he remembers. He strikes me as being very absentminded about the little everyday things. I bet poor Watson will end up tidying things soon enough, like the rogue socks probably already multiplying beneath the coffee table. XD

I think they're rebutting, rather than teasing.

But, the potential... *rubs hands eagerly*
