  1. E. It has to be E. In my house alone, at least 20 cups a day are drunk.

  2. 235 Because my mother doesn't even live there and she drinks 8 cups a day, much to the chagrin of her cardiologist! She just won't believe it has bad caffeine in it.

  3. 135 million (when in doubt, always choose answer c...)

  4. I am thinking D.
    Nothing so bad can happen in your life that a cup of tea can't solve. This is why I love the English.

  5. I thought it was something like 200 million, so I'm going to go with E, and round up. This isn't like Price is Right, is it? Where if you have to guess the closest without going over? (If you go over, you're out.)

  7. Mmmmm.....I reckon millions!!!! ;) I don't even have a clue how many people live in the UK so my guess would be just that....a guess.

    Alright, I'll take a guess. I'll pick C cos it's right in the middle. How much is that? 135 million. Will be interested to see the answer.

  9. It's got to be more than E surly, although we do seem to be drinking a lot more coffee as a nation now I only switched to tea as I’ve gotten older but I like it with sugar so I limit the amount to no more than 2 cups a day & mostly only at weekends, now that’s a question how many bags of sugar is in that tea! LOL you might not get this unless you've ever met any builders now they just put half a bag in the tea, when I worked in the construction industry I was always asking “would they like any tea with they're sugar!” We used to buy the sugar by the KG like the cement! LOL hope you had a nice weekend Seeya hugya *G*

  11. Okay, I know a lot of those U.K.ers love to drink their tea. But I have no idea of the population, other than that it is in the millions? So I have no way of making some sort of educated guess. Which is why I'm just going to randomly go with B: 105 million.

  12. I'll guess "D" but since I'm a coffee wench, I can honestly say I haven't got a clue nor am I googling. I'll behave...
