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

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.)
