      Im not an englishman nor do i dring tea often, but tea is not rotten leaves, tea is mixture of multiple plant drugs (drugs in pharmacy term. May reffer to leaves, root, or any other plant part with healing properties.) Dried up, grinded or just fine cut depending on the plant and ultimately put into hot or boiling water. Nothing is rotten, and tree leaves are not used for tea. pharmacognosy is a fun subject.
      Edit: you should probably filter your tea, or you can use drugs already packaged in filther papeg bags.

    Lindy: "Uh-huh"
    Geordie: "Yeah"
    My best translation goes:
    "No, you know on Osborne Road near the restaurants, there's the square bushpieces (might be square pots with ornamental bushes, or might mean bushes trimmed to have corners), there's the circle (might mean bushes are arranged in a circle, or that you've got to walk around them in a circle, or might be a circle unrelated to the bushes but nearby), they're near the phonebox. I'm just putting some water on the... For the dogs... (Think he's suggesting the dogs pee outside the restaurant on the pots that the bushes are in and he's filling the watering can so he can wash it away each time it happens).
    EDIT: The phrase at the end might be 'for the dog's widdle' which would mean for the dog pee.
    It's been pointed out that he might have said "postbox" instead of "phonebox". The phonebox nearby isn't particularly close to any building that matches his description, but the postbox is.

Actually this is because the celts that roamed these lands gave yew an special significance and all important reunions where done around the biggest of these trees, often in the center of a town, which led to build the churches in said places.
