As we have already seen (e.g. "Churchill? No. Just stupid Americans.", Hermit, 2002-08-28 (http://virus.lucifer.com/bbs/index.php?board=7;action=display;threadid=26285) ), American knowledge and research both seem shaky. Never more so than in the hands of Joe McPees. Certainly on this occasion his statement that this repartee occurred at a tea party, and that it was between Sir Winston and Queen Mary is faulty. The repartee actually occurred in Parliament between Lady Astor and Churchill. And repartee was the only tea served.

Reminiscent of "Here's your arsenic dear. And your weed-killer biscuit. I've throttled your parakeet. I've spat in the vases. I've put cheese in the mouseholes. Here's your nice tea, dear" ["Under Milkwood", Dylan Thomas].
