Firstly, you'd call tea 'coffee'? Or are you saying that you don't drink
tea; you drink coffee? And secondly, until this stage, I'd been thinking
of tea as tea=dinner here. Dunno why, considering I normally call it
'dinner' (unless dinner happened at lunchtime, e.g. on Christmas).
(Though my father always calls it 'tea'.)
Oh, and I don't drink tea (or coffee). :P
