Why would you choose to live here lol.
Don't come to London! We're full! lol.
Enjoy that mentality when you come over. Some of us Brits don't like foreigners no matter where they are from. Just saying. I'm not like that though

So, it could refer to eating as well. Brits may offer you milk with tea, and they typically don't take as much sugar as Americans do. |
I have never known anyone to refer to any meal as "tea" other than the late afternoon/evening meal. (though I know it has been used as such historically... I think teatime tended to refer to a light meal like sandwiches, compared to a dinner which is traditionally a large family meal usually in the evening)
Personally I stick to calling the three meals "breakfast, lunch and tea"... I would use "dinner" for an evening meal except it causes confusion as some of my family uses "dinner" to refer to lunchtime. (which would be fine if we all had a large sit-down meal at the same time for lunch, like we sometimes do on a Sunday, but usually lunch will be small and eaten at different times and in different places)
And yeah, I don't drink much tea but I prefer it quite strong with milk, no sugar.

I beleive lots of people already do this, many people post about having both US and EU plus subs to get both sets of games. My friend bought all the ps1 resident evil games from the US store as they took over a year longer to come out in the EU and he could play them fine when he was in hius EU account
I'm pretty sure all your games will be fine on the PS3. I have a UK PS3, bought Resident Evil 2 from the US PS Store and it works fine. The problem comes to DLC purchases I think, as the DLC has to match up with the region you bought the game.

Fair enough. After talking with Brtis and watching enough British TV, I've learned that "tea" or "tea time" doesn't necessarily mean drinking tea but usually includes eating. It does sound like it means something different to everyone in Britain.
Americans tend to dillute the bitterness of tea with sugar, where as Brits use milk. Most people here would look at you cross-eyed if you offered milk with tea, yet they would drink coffee with it.

There are parts of the UK that aren't so bad. And honestly, as an American, I see opportunities in the UK that don't exist here.
Since other people have answered your question as far as I can see, I'll just contribute one of my favourite videos which seems quite fitting here:
In any culture, you need to know the appropriate way to greet and part with the locals. To greet someone in the UK, you say "Good day, ol' chap!." To part with someone, always say "Cherio" followed by a sincere tip o' the hat.

I'm a nice part (rural Lincolnshire) and it's still bad. I would go back to Texas if I had the chance.
