      Because we're not English (some of our relatives might have been, but we're Americanized now).

        What kind of answer were you looking for bagpuss? I think it's a reasonable answer. Traditionally AMERICANS have boiled their water. We have no need to make an art out of tea drinking. As she said, we're not English. We do things the American way. Watch the name calling.

        Yeah bagpuss, my heritage is English on both sides of the family. As far as I can see you're the only smartarse around here. I was telling truth as I see it. Since you were nice enough to TD my answer, you're getting a TD for your question.
