because the whole family does not need boiling water
how hard is it to understand that we just don't drink tea regularly?
the coffee maker is designed for that, to keep the coffee pot hot for a few hours.
yes. it is refreshing and better than plain waterDo adults drink squash?
it's rank compared to fruit juice. I thought it was just for handing out to kids at parties. When you grow up, you learn that water is best for quenching a thirst. 
Do adults drink squash?
You have to be patient with them and remember that their ancestors weren't smart enough to ditch Britain and come here like yours.
you know, little Bobby and Sal and the tweens? "come and get your boiling water, kids!"
What a out instant coffee, tea, green tea, soup, noodles or whatever in the morning. Sounds like the american system only caters for filtered coffee. That's mad. I prefer not to be shackled by the bounds of my kitchen implements. Americans have coffee because that's all they can have.because the whole family does not need boiling water

You don't mix cocktails with cordials.
I doubt it. But I imagine people/adult babies drink more squash.
sorry, I hope people realize we're only "taking the piss"
Aren't we always,?sorry, I hope people realize we're only "taking the piss"
you were escorted from the premises at gunpoint.You have to be patient with them and remember that their ancestors weren't smart enough to ditch Britain and come here like yours.
snap!
Yuwipi, does your whole family need boiling water regularly?
They left an uptight England cos it wasn't upright enough for them.You have to be patient with them and remember that their ancestors weren't smart enough to ditch Britain and come here like yours.
No you are for drinking a child's drink.You really are an odd fella!
As I'm quite often in both places, I've made a list of various things I miss from the UK and take over there.. and some other US things you can't easily get here to throw some light on the differences...
Things I have taken with me or bought from import stores in America because they don't seem to sell them in regular stores:
McVities Digestive Biscuits - not really a thing there. See also hob nobs.
Ribena - because blackcurrants aren't really a thing, and neither is diluting cordials.
Heinz Soup - the preferred choice in America is Campbells condensed soup which, ironically, needs diluting with water.
Jaffa Cakes - not a thing at all
Marmite - probably seen as a Brit peculiarity the world over
Branston Pickle - not a thing at all.
Heinz Beans - US equivalent is 'Bush's Beans' which are flavoured with meat and sweet tasting molasses (vom)
Bisto gravy granules - I've seen gravy sold in cartons/tins - I don't trust it.
Paxo stuffing - not a thing / only found in import stores
Curry sauces - eg. pataks, uncle bens etc. - Not enough South Asian influence to be a thing.
Gold blend coffee - replaced with Tasters Choice which is almost the same
Brit chocolates - of the ones I'm familiar with you can get KitKat, Twix, Snickers, Crunch, and Cadbury Dairy Milk (all with different quality/tasting chocolate), but no Mars Bars, Toffee Crisp, Bounty, Crunchie, Picnic, Boost, Turkish Delight, Maltesers, Aero, Minstrels, Revels, Star Bar, Double Deckers, Whispers, Milky Bar, Buttons, Fry's, or Yorkies
Things I wish I could take with me but can't cos perishable, too heavy, or meat:
Taramasalata - can't find it anywhere. Can't move for hummus, guacamole or salsa though.
Sausage rolls - just not a thing - see also pork pies, ginsters pasties, cornish pasties etc etc. nearest you'll get is an apple pastry pie
Waitrose microwave Indian meals. No Waitrose period #fwp
London Pride - you can find it sold as bottled beer, but it's a speciality import
Things I was mildly surprised were easy to find and sold all over:
Tetley Tea bags - labelled 'Tetley British Blend' no doubt aimed at Brits/Britophiles - black tea isn't as popular as green/fruity tea
Boddingtons ale (in cans) - called 'Boddingtons Pub Ale' there - presumably to make it sound more British
Newcastle Brown Ale - seems to be big all over the US, for some reason, which is good cos I like it.
Things from America I'd buy in the UK but can't find/get:
Trader Joes Chimichurri Rice
Enriched quick cook rice / Minute Rice
Mexican coke
Bud Lite
'Tide' washing detergent
Legal medical grade smoke
Massive size Listerine mouthwash
US style soft toilet paper
Fibre 1 cereal
You'd buy Bud Lite?????
Do adults drink squash?
