[Leica] London tea

[rclark01 at comcast.net (Robert Clark)]

I found that one interesting as well...my Francophile wife (who resided 
in France for awhile) made me aware of that custom during several trips 
to Paris.  Its good to get out and see the world and learn about those 
different customs.  In the eastern NC area where I'm from, the tea is 
made sweet and in all the barbeque, seafood, and mom/pop type 
restaurants, it comes to you in a glass and your table gets its own 
pitcher so you can drink as much as you want.  My urologist informed me 
many years ago that my liking so much iced tea may have contributed to 
the multiple kidney stones I've had over the years.
