I read a fascinating bit of trivia recently in the “Scotsman”. A recent study has revealed exactly how much tea it takes to get a job done.

Building the average three-bedroom semi-detached home takes about 9,500 cups of tea. For a more ambitious project, such as the £800 million restoration of London’s St Pancras station, you’ll need a whopping six million cups of tea to keep the “brickies” happy.

The new survey also found that tea plays a vital role, with 80 per cent of people claiming they find out more about what is going on at work over a cup of tea than in any other way.

Builders said the beverage made them more productive, with nearly seven in 10 (68 per cent) insisting tea had relaxing and stress-relieving properties.

Read coffee instead of tea and the same probably applies to Australia.
