As a part of my function as the cultural attache to to US, I decided it was time to introduce these folks to the good old digestive biscuit... chocolate version... (dark chocolate preferred - think it is an age thing - I used to love the sweeter milk chocolate but now tastes have changed...)
I explained my digestives and tea behaviours to them in the following way...
Brew tea and retire to sofa toting two choc digestives... eat those digestives before you get to the sofa... return to kitchen for two more...
Sit and sip tea with two digestives... finish those digestives after a couple of sips of tea and return to kitchen for FIVE more...
Sit down, consume digestives and tea... try to resist the urge to go get the packet...
fail...
go get the packet...
eat until you feel sick...
simple... so I asked Anita to bring some over - which she very kindly did... however they were not the chocolate ones - so instead of saying 'thank you' - I open my big mouth and hear myself say - 'but these are not the chocolate ones...' - instantly knowing this was not the correct thing to say...
I think I am forgiven now...
sorry babe xxx
