What is 'high tea'?

[JoyceBarnaby]

I'm watching the hairy bikers and the theme this week is apparently 'high tea'.

They've had beef stew, sausages and pies so far - which don't really say 'high tea' to me. But I don't really know what does!!

Any thoughts?

Sticks tongue out at Pointy... :)

I cock a snook back

And what would that be when it's at home, then?

This thread is making me hungry btw. I want fresh bread and good cheese - and plums...I want plums. And Victoria Sponge.

It's putting your thumb on your nose and waving your fingers, I believe.

Ooh is it? I didn't know that had a name! Wanders away feeling filled with Pointy-esque-knowledge...

I only remember it because an ex-boss thought I had spelled it incorrectly in a newsletter. These things stick with you
