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

YOU POOR THINGS. TELL ME YOU AT LEAST GET YOUR ELEVENSES.

... I don't understand your English.
What's an 'elevenses.'

[yuki-scorpio.livejournal.com]

Right.

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

.. so ... what I have learned today is that

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.

1. That's pretty close to the truth! Because the posher you are the more likely you'd have tea (or high tea, as you'd be fuck-all apart from eating... unlike the general masses who tend to be working and therefore not tea-ing!

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.)

YES, IT'S ALL PERFECTLY STRAIGHTFORWARD ISN'T IT.

VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD!

Lol, as a Scot, I resemble that remark, but it's too funny to confuse the poor americans who wander into this kind of conversation. Dinner time up here is any meal taken between 12 and 2, tea around 4, and tea time is around six and usually the largest meal of the day (so that's why we don't starve) but wait! That's not all... Supper is a mini-meal/snack taken just before bed, around ten or eleven (or whenever you go to bed).

As yuki said, PERFECTLY STRAIGHTFORWARD!

Supper is confusing as well. XD

Very :3

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
