To think my son can't be English?

[Chusband]

He insists on dunking his biscuits in my cup of tea.

Surely any true Englishman, even at the age of 4, would instinctively know this is an etiquette breach equivalent to taking a shit on someone's lawn. It's simply not done old chap

Should I pack him off to boarding school?

Do you give him his own cup of tea to dunk his biscuits in?

My DNieces walk around dunking their biscuits in everyone else's tea. Even when they have their own cup!!! It's bad enough that they do it when they don't have a cup of tea, but when they do, they get told it's not the done thing

Disclaimer: they have decaf tea that's very milky and barely above room temperature

Not English? Are you having a laugh? Dunking biscuits is at the core of what it means to be English.

I thought it was only the English who dunked biscuits in tea.It is why we invented ginger nuts :)

It is very common.as muck to dunk biscuots.

I read it here.

Maybe it's the dunking in someone else's tea that OP is saying isn't British?

I read it as that London

British in.India dunked biscuits, to do so in Britain would have a big no.no.
Only WC dunk in their wn tea mug.or anybody elses

That is what I read.here

No idea what other nationalities think of it

Mmm, dunked biscuits.

Biscuits with chocolate in can only be dunked in coffee, not tea. Plain biscuits can be dunked in either.

defiling someone else's tea is as bad as using the wrong knife .... pack him off to boarding school straight away, the little scamp needs to learn!
