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.)

The first thing most people say when someone comes to visit them is "Do you want a cup of tea?" whatever the time of day. But I agree with what someone else said above, to meet someone for tea means meeting them for the evening meal/dinner. If you were meeting someone away from your house, you'd go for a coffee regardless of the drink. People definitely pop round for a cuppa :o)

Ok I need to go have one now, you've put me in the mood!!

Thanks! I've changed the wording a bit, saying 'have a cup of tea' instead of 'going for tea.' Which sounds correct, based on you all's comments.
