UK question: So, when one has tea, is it generally an afternoon thing? Or is it an all-the-time thing? Like say you went over to someone's house in the morning, would you have tea? Or would it be weird to say you're going to someone's house for tea in the morning? It makes no matter to me one way or the other, I just need to know how to word something.

This was the episode where the Doctor extracts a toothbrush from his coat and hands it to Martha, right? Was there something special about the toothbrush? I seem to recall that it wasn't an ordinary toothbrush, but can't remember exactly. (And The Shakespeare Code transcript isn't up yet.)

as far as i know , "to have tea" means a small meal (bread,biscuits,tea) around 5-6pm.
you can have a cup of tea anytime in the idea but the traditional time for tea is in the afternoon.
and i suppose it would be rather odd to say you're going for tea with someone at 10am, but if you do go and visit someone at that hour, chances are, they'll offer you tea.

Maybe I should be wording it "have a cup of tea" instead of "have tea"...
