Me: So, are you all packed for your trip?

Nicola (housemate): No, but I’m not stressing it.  I’ve already packed up my passport, credit cards, and tea, so I’ll be fine.

Me: Tea?

Nicola: Well, I’m a little worried they might not have tea in Sweden.

Everyone always talks about how the English have a national problem with alcohol consumption.  But why isn’t anyone concerned about tea addiction?

Addendum: Nicola would like you to know that “I’m not tea-addicted, I’m just tea-dependent.”
