“The telling of a story, like virtually everything in this life, was always made all the easier by a cup of tea.”

“[from The One and Only Official Mr. Gum Official Glossary That Tells You What Words Mean by Explaining Them Using Other Words] : Cups of tea: People in England are always drinking cups of tea. "Oh let's have a cup of tea " they say. "That will prove we are English and not American." Sometimes American people try to have cups of tea to pretend they are English but forget it We can always tell you are faking it”

“Like drinking a cup of tea, all the simple things in life are the real things that make us happy!”

“--a drive in the country, an expedition to a shoe shop a quiet cup of tea under a cloudless sky; each of us had something that made it easier to continue in a world that sometimes, just sometimes, was not as we might wish it to be.”

“There is nothing wrong in the world that isn't made better by a good cup of tea”

“Distorted realities have always been my cup of tea.”
