why? they are rooms, they have tea.

Ah, I love a team room.

All doilies and little pots of jam and fat elderly cats snoozing in the corner in front of the fire.....Lovely.

What about 'coffe house' - any better? Or 'opium den' mayhap?

JANEITEisntErudite · 12/11/2009 22:37

'Steak house' or 'Pizza parlour' ? None of them make much sense, do they?!

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 12/11/2009 22:37

how can you hate tea rooms???

They have tea and coffee and cakes. What's not to like?

Nutter.

MaryMotherOfCheeses · 12/11/2009 22:39

Well, not entirely, I don't like tea, but they do sell cake, which is a huge plus. IMHO.

No problem here with tea rooms here. Not sure what the problem is? There's loads of villages near me and it's nice to round off the day in a tea room with a pot of tea and a big massive slice of cake. Fantastic. What's there not to like?

I love tea rooms. My dream job is inspector for the National Guild of Tea Rooms.

YABU; it is not the most unreasonable thing I have heard. Someone recently told me they didn't like the Beatles. You are nearing that level of unreasonableness though.

upahill · 12/11/2009 22:41

Marymother.... Xpost there!! Same last sentence.

WilfSell · 12/11/2009 22:41

Praps SEA means this kind of tearoom?

notanumber · 12/11/2009 22:41

I bet Starbucks won't do you a lovely slab of battenburg.

God, tea rooms are ACE. What's wrong with you, for heavens sakes?

upahill · 12/11/2009 22:42

Do tell! What is the issue with tea rooms?

Lilymaid · 12/11/2009 22:43

Tea rooms, tea shop ... love them all.
My latest favourite!

JANEITEisntErudite · 12/11/2009 22:45

I like tea rooms much more than The Beatles - can't stand The Beatles.

MillyR · 12/11/2009 22:46

The tearoom in Ambleside is the best tea room I have been in so far.

I had my wedding reception in a tea room.

MillyR · 12/11/2009 22:48

I really feel personally offended over the Beatles thing; it must be my weak point.

southeastastra · 12/11/2009 22:54

oh i worked in a tea room for a while, have a weird perspective on it
