afternoon tea: is it still done?

[Downunder Kilt]

In boarding schools, evening tea was what we call dinner, and tea was served at breakfast and dinner. In fact, I had to get special permission (and pay extra) to get milk with meals, but that was soon after millk rations ended.

Schools at least also had a break at 11:00 am called "elevenses" which might have included a drink and a boiled sweet (candy).

Ah yes, House Masters, Prefects and their Fags, the cane, long gone but not forgotton

At the last restaurant I worked at, I did an afternoon tea with my employee's. We usually had two or three types of tea, a couple of snacks, and a chance to sit down and take a breather. Quite enjoyed it actually.
