London;" Britain's much-loved cup of tea has been deemed too costly to give out free to military staff. The Ministry of Defence sent a memo asking employees to log every cup of tea or coffee they drink so their department can be charged for the beverages. One staff member, speaking anonymously, that workers initially wondered if the plan was a joke. But the government defended its decision. "The days of a tea trolley coming round giving out free tea are long over."
Geez..Money must really be getting tight if even the English, are being petty over a cup of Tea..LOL
