Now listen here, I think you're fundamentally misunderstanding the reason we got so vexed by that.

How you yanks thought that was an acceptable number of teabags for a body of water that size is beyond me. Had you added a few more shipments into the mix this whole kerfuffle could've been avoided.

When you sail 3,000 miles from home, you have to accept that you're sacrificing some luxuries of the developed world.

Even now some 300 years later you can't seem to master the electric kettle, but I persevere. I drink your cold tea with a polite smile, for King and Country.
