How do you say "a cup of tea"?

[GRMUM]

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

well i say "wanna cup o tea?" but many round here say "wanna cup o tay?"

shall i just pop the kettle on (northern)

do you fancy a brew, or a cuppa tea (am Yorkshire).

In (north) Wales, a lot of people say 'Do you want a panad?' (which is Welsh obviously,but has found its way into the everyday language of non Welsh speakers too.)

I say "do you want a cup of coffee?"...pause...pause..."oh...I've got tea too...somewhere...hang on...did buy some tea bags..."

Don't drink it, 'tis foul drink of the devil, and usually offer tea only to find the tea bags are yonks out of date.

I'd ask if you wanted a 'panad'- (live in Wales) and its an abbreviation of cwpaned which is a cupfull so cupfull abbreviated would be cuppa so i spose panad=cuppa

I've learnt something new tonight pixie!!

What did you do last year? I'm doing A103 and should at this moment be reading about Alfred Russell Wallace!

Up North (lived there for 6 years until 2003) they call tea and/or coffee a 'brew'. When DH is being very northern (he is a northerner.. now in the south) he says 'Brew up, hotlips'! I and go swoon.. NOT!

Brew, North.

When I worked in Sheffield they used to ask who was 'mashing' tea.

I have also suffered with the islands/roundabouts thing - I once drove all round Derby in total confusion.

Someone I once worked with used to say "Do you want a wet?"

Lilibet I did DD100 last year. Really enjoyed that too. Have to say that, apart from being very interesting, I also found it quite easy- it was like reading about all the social changes that have occured during my lifetime.Is A103 the arts foundation course?

Yes, it's the Introduction to Humanities, very varied, loving some bits (French Revolution) hated others (Alfred Russell Wallace, which I should be doing at this very moment!)

Brew or cuppa splosh - Essex.

Mum always defines tea two ways:

Cows on strike? (too strong)
Fortnight (too weak)

I just say
tea?
or
shall I put the jug on?

I'm in scotland but not scottish, think jug is NZ and tea? just laziness

Back home in Donegal it would be something like "Will ye tek a wee cup o'tea?"

as a northerner come down sarrrf takin everyones jobs n houses....i love asking everyone in different offices if they "want a brew" they look at me i can see the cogs turn for a milisecond - the lights then come on...then the fellas usually say " ohh please mate"...mate? am not yer mate....am a laydeee

I had to check who instigated this thread as Melsy commented to me today on the phone that I said cup of tea like Brad Pitt in Meet Joe Black! Which I have not seen...
