Why is it that no-one bats an eyelid at buying a round of drinks for their workmates on a Friday night at £20 a go and yet they blow a fuse if you nick 3p’s-worth of teabag or a splash of milk in the office?
For those wanting more information about just how generous us Brits are in the pub, here’s a good post from Pete Brown from this time last year.

You have to pay for your own teabags and milk in the office?? I know there’s a recession, but that’s a bit tight isn’t it?
Because beer drinkers are mostly sociable geezers, and tea drinkers are mostly uptight women (allegedly).
Never heard of providing your own teabags and milk!
What’s with the hash thing?
In our office the ones who write their names on the milk carton who never seem to get a round in.
Boak’s an uptight woman and she buys rounds with the best of them!
I thought bringing your own tea and coffee to work was normal, it’s either that or buy it from the machine in the office “kitchen”. Been away too long perhaps.
