Making a cup of tea in ANY crisis.

The first thing Brits do in crisis is attempt to calm themselves down by making a cup of tea. Usually the first question to ask a guest when they come to your house is "would you like a cuppa" Cuppa being a colloquial word for cup of tea. Brits love nothing more than inviting some friends or family over to their home, sit around drinking tea and arguing over Brexit (The United Kingdoms process of leaving the European Union)
