I see we have a new wine glass emoticon! Jolly good! But some of us would prefer a good old cup of tea.

Do you think you could cater for the likes of us too?

Lots of love,

Ah, but nickel I tend to drink the tea at breakfast time, but have the actual breakfast a bit later Blush. I need the tea to wake my stomach up first!

Could be a nice cup of redbush, mebbe?

you shouldn't drink tea with food, because it stops the blood absorbing iron.

Actually I do like the Wine, but it is a bit unseemly to be using it all day, when a cuppa is much more the thing at breakfast time! And you could assume the cup contained coffee/hot chocolate/other hot beverage for the non-tea drinkers.....

I think MNHQ didn't think this one through, I would like to say that Wine glass emoticon is very insulting on a lot of levels, firstly are they implying we are a bunch of drunks? Secondly think of all the Muslims out there they don't want to be doing with a wine glass thingy thirdly what if you upset the AA brigade how would hq explain that?
Please MNHQ rethink and provide us with a teacup emoticon. Thank you.

I'd like tea - it'd be good on threads where you want to say 'there there' and calm them down.
