Pondering…

I’ve shared this before, but I think the debates need renewing… ponder these… and so will I and share my thoughts another time:

For or against…

  • Tif vs mif? – When drinking tea should it be tea in first or milk in first… ( and/or, should it be cif vs mif – coffee in first or milk in first?

  • Should there be an English national costume?

  • Should bicycles and bike riders have right of way over pedestrians and other traffic?

  • Just as the French have L’Académie Francaise, should there be an English Academy to properly govern and regulate our language?

  • Cream tea – is the Cornish way correct (jam on first then cream) or the Devon way (cream on first then jam)… and is there a Somerset way? … or a Dorset way?
The cream tea, clotted cream, jam and scones
  • U or non-U? Did it ever matter, does it still matter?

  • Is it acceptable to dunk biscuits into tea/coffee/drinking chocolate?
Coffee, Eccles cake, giant custard cream
  • Should privet hedges be banned?

  • Should St George’s Day be official?

  • Should there be a list of acceptable names for children in the UK, as there is in such countries as Germany and Iceland?
