When I travelled in South America and I told people where I was from, their response was usually ‘5 O’clock tea!’
Now, I knew that English people were known for their love of tea and for afternoon tea – tea with scones, strawberry jam and clotted cream or little nibbles like bite-size sandwiches or small cupcakes but I was never aware that it was known as being at 5 O’Clock!
