How does a traditional british tea time look like?
What has to be put on the table (or where you take your tea time) to make the British man or woman happy?
Need that for a short presentation because I'm visiting Great Britain with my school, starting tomorrow. (I'm from Germany)

Answers:
Afternoon tea is served at around 3pm. Generally the table is laid with a tablecloth and trays of scones, breads, cakes, biscuits etc - sweet things mainly. There will be a bowl of sugar and small jug of milk on the table to match the china cups and saucers. Matching side-plates too are used to catch the crumbs from the cake etc as the tea is often taken away from the table, with the plate on the persons lap.
High tea is generally served in the evening around 6pm in homes where the main meal is eaten in the middle of the day. Often, for people who are out of the house at work during the day, high tea is restricted to sundays. It is usually a light meal consisting of a selection of salads, sandwiches, cold meats and cheeses and of course a cup of tea. Sometimes finished off with sweet cake.
