Oh, British people...

Things one learns while listening to British radio: alarm clocks that made tea used to be very popular in the UK. The idea is that it will wake you up and you will have a cup of tea waiting for you.

I feel like Q is very sad that this isn't really a thing any more. Or perhaps he has made himself a better version.

In other, "I'm Sorry All I Talk About is Tom Hiddleston" news: this literally made my day. Followed closely by this.

In my defence, I used to drink it anyway to stop elderly relatives going into a decline when they asked if I wanted a cup of tea. They died in the 90s and I stopped drinking it. I didn't drink coffee until 2007 either (Starbucks frappuccinos don't really count) and I blame the fact that I now do on Ianto Jones... never instant coffee though, still don't like that!
