No.

No I have always asked for another pot if it runs out. I find that sometimes there are so many sandwiches and cakes that the tea runs out before you’re done, I think it’s fine to have another pot 😁

No, but the first pot should have enough teabags that by the time you've added the extra hot water you've had two potfuls already. As much milk as you need should be provided.

Teabags... sorry... spoonfuls of tea if we're talking proper afternoon tea with loose leaf and a strainer.BlushGrin

Yes - the first pot gives you the veneer of respectability.

It's then time to move on to the hard stuff - whisky, brandy and cognac in particular😂
