I'd prolly be interested in a shirt, if just for laughs. Ain't a Brit, but tea, crumpets and kippers got a place with me :o.

Can-not-function-without-it: tea. The crazy bugger in the song said it all.
When the zeds come, I'm raiding the tea shop first thing after I make a nice pot. Then we can sort out some weapons and food.

Missed this in all the pre-holiday preparations. Grateful for the threadomancy!

Sort the buggers out indeed!

I take it you mean chavas?

Then I stand by you, Tea! then kill the Chava buggers!

They may be useful when they are dead. I cant find a use for them now.

Yours

Nah, not worried about the charvas.
I'm thinking of these zeds. Although, in terms of behaviour, it's easy to confuse the two.

Yes, we have them too, even in British Columbia.

More chai please, wallah!

Charvas? Pardon my lowly suburban-ness, but what're they?

Speaking of chai, it's good but Earl Gray's better, haha.

'chai' should be interpreted as a generic term for tea, however in today's world it has become synonymous with the (yummy) milky infusion of tea, cardamom & other spices that is Masala Chai.
A Chai Wallah can be a good friend in hard times. I miss the old Haji who made tea for me every morning back in Singapore.  :'(
Such good tea...

A Chav is, well, someone who probably won't be painting much lead this year. Although I could be wrong on this account. If they did paint, then I think they wouldn't be much of a Chav in the first place.

A pejorative is such an ugly word.

Sorry to resurrect.....(Hmm thats my new catchphrase sorted)

Anyone be interested in buying Tshirts along the lines of this fellow on the front offering Tea and

"Assam...
 Lovely!"

as a back print.

Been in contact with the guy who's song it is, Mc Elemental  and Im trying to see if there was a market among us lot.

Count me in if this gets of the ground.

That was spiffing!
Does anyone remember this? (sorry that the sound quality is so poor)
