I've been drinking quite a lot of it, still having it NATO standard (white and two sugars), although thinking of cutting down to one. There's NATO, Julie (Andrews. With milk and no sugar, after her performance as a "white, nun{none}") and a Whoopi (Goldberg. No milk or sugar, Sister Act, Black Nun) but there's no slang for white and one as far as I can tell.
Anyway, during the second Gulf War the Americans where assigned to provide drinking stuff for the Brits and radically underestimated the British armed forces capacity for drinking tea.
There's an odd website called "nice cup of tea and a sit down" that rates biscuits and sometimes tea and one of my favourite quotes of all time comes from Neil Gaiman's book (and TV script) Neverwhere. The hero, Richard Mayhew, has to face a great ordeal to end up facing the Angel Islington. The ordeal is presided over by the Black Friars of Black Friars in London, but first, "the nice cup of tea."
And that, for me, is the thing; step up and face your challenges, but first - the nice cup of tea.
Lovely.
