She lost me at "never dunk your biscuits at afternoon tea". That IS proper etiquette and yet, as long as I'm not noshing with Her Majesty, I will ALWAYS dunk biscuits where there are biscuits to be dunked. I look forward to tea time every day BECAUSE of the dunking.
Pouring hot tea - even boiling water into a porcelain cup will not cause it to crack, irrespective of how delicate it looks. But by all means put the milk in first if you want.
Not in modern times but back in the day. China was extremely delicate back in the day so it was a necessity to put warm milk before the boiling tea. Porcelain nowadays is way more resistant.

I've been in too many afternoon tea gatherings with my grandmum by force as a child, kind of like going to church as a child. I can already hear her remind me not to use my knife to break the scones, it must be broken apart with the hands or you must stir the tea from six to twelve do try not to go around the cup.
Your grandmum is absolutely correct. That's hilarious, as I went through much the same thing. I'll bet to this day, you can also look at a formal place-setting and tell someone what every single one of those utensils are for, lol. So, after NOT breaking your scone with a knife like a barbarian, do you go cream then jam? Or jam then cream?
English afternoon tea Scones originated in Scotland, and scone is an old Scots word meaning fine bread. Tea came from Asia The teapots usually come from China. The most English thing about this is the products and traditions originated in other countries. LOL. Also, English and British are not the same thing.
Just gonna put it out there for the Americans, EVERYONE has to drink afternoon tea by law at 4pm when the tea alarms go off. My grandad who is deaf did not hear the alarm and when the tea police came around to check he was thrown in jail for 6 years without parole
Thank You for this information. I had tea decades ago when I knew a British lady who kept my young daughter. She had lovely children, and explained to me the difference between cookies and biscuits, one British, one American.
Wrong, tea first then milk, the reason is because the China was made stronger later years and only the poor who couldn’t afford it so that’s why they put milk first. Also when tea is on the saucer the handle needs to be at 9/3 o’clock depending on your dominant hand

Nope, milk goes in after the tea.
I’m English. Milk in first? How dare you!
@@lukasj.navarro9163 for lower class porcelain, no? The upper classes used bone china so they put in the hot tea first
Yes, they only used to do that back in the day because they did not have fine porcelain so the tea could cause the cup to crack
Goodness.. i never knew drinking tea could be this complicated..

English afternoon tea
Scones originated in Scotland, and scone is an old Scots word meaning fine bread.
Tea came from Asia
The teapots usually come from China.
The most English thing about this is the products and traditions originated in other countries. LOL.
Also, English and British are not the same thing.
If that's the case then all things came from China and Africa
I find cream first makes the jam easier to spread.

Very true, if your ever visiting the uk make sure to bring a compass with you or you will get some very strange looks

Who is here after the Leslie Jones SNL skit?
As long the tea pot didn't crack, be sure the cups will not, too.
Pinky = youre letting others know you have syphillis
"scons" every time.
I design and follow my own etiquette rules. God love me please
Tiky/tricky the clown want this
I give up on drinking tea after this video. I'd better drink some coffee instead.
Never clink the cup.
This woman’s voice has more cracks than an old teapot 🙈
oof,,,, there's a lot to learn >
Don’t trust the accent…
Oh sod off with the etiquette! Just enjoy the bloody cuppa!
No it’s very important to have etiquette if you don’t want the tea police round
