This week, we're all about Alison's favourite drink: tea! The Brits love their tea with milk, but should you put it in the cup before or after the tea? And who cares? This week's idiom is 'Not for all the tea in China'. Oh, and if you know Ali is quoting right at the very end, let us know and we'll give you an honourable mention in next week's episode!
