Ordering a cuppa

[Knight Life]

I have noticed that when you order a cup of tea you need to ask for more hot water, as the cup is only 2/3rds full.

 

This happened to me at Robins Nest, The Jolly Friar and today at the Pig and Whistle.

Yes I know it’s trivial but I do enjoy a full cup, and don’t want to bother the staff for more water.

 

Perhaps in future I will ask in advance…..

Thais think that's the polite way to serve tea or coffee.

I would guess they are leaving you room for all the milk you Brits generally add to your tea.  Not a dig just an observation from when I dated and lived with a English girl for five or so years.  I think all the places you mentioned are British owned or operated establishments.

Bet you wouldn't say that if there was a problem with your coffee :-). Yuk vile stuff lol

Amazon are the same with white coffee. I always ask for full cup, those who pay, say.

Take your own 'big' mug, I'm sure they would be happy to fill it for you

There is a bigger problem than a lack of water when ordering tea in Pattaya and that is Liptons!

 

Vile stuff, weak as piss. If it isn't Tetley or a mug of Monkey ( PG Tips) you might just as well drink the hot water served!

 

Chucking our tea into Boston Harbour back in the day without having a decent alternative was probably one of the first poor foreign policy decisions America made.......some would say its been downhill ever since!

I always bring plenty of Yorkshire tea with me.

It's because the tea is so piss weak. Any more water and you won't even taste the tea.
