Hi, I am just writing my first assignment for my OU course.As an example of different ways of saying something I am using the phrase a cup of tea. So far I can think of :

A cup of tea
A cuppa tea
A cup of char
A quick brew

Anybody got any more? I am sure there must be other local ways of saying this. If you can also let me know the area its from that would be great! Thanks

I don't need to say it - I crook my little finger just so and Perkins knows exactly what I mean.

emmatmg · 02/03/2005 11:06

Sorry, my Cuppa tea and charles charlie char is in Surrey, but I'm originally from Basingstoke in hampshire.

Poshpaws · 02/03/2005 11:07

A cuppa tea, but I love the expression 'a brew'.

Not the same said in a SE london accent , though

SeaShells · 02/03/2005 11:07

Can I have a 'T' please Bob, is a favourite in my house

Or else it's just a 'cuppa', which I doubt is a regional thing (north east btw)

snafu · 02/03/2005 11:08

Sorry GRMUM, not being very helpful. I'm in Surrey too and probably say 'a cuppa tea'.
