    In Finland the average rate of coffee consumed per year is 9.3 kg. I used to drink coffee and lots of it, but my stomach finally disagreed. Three days of headache and I was done with coffee :)
    Moved over to tea, coffee only occasionally - perhaps once a month or so. Preferably dark roasted coffee, in Finland people mostly drink lightly roasted, filtered coffee which to me is the closest drink to resemble battery acid. Keep on it heated on a coffee machine for more than 15 minutes and it stinks like a teachers' lounge at a school. No thank you!
    James is right, tea keeps you on the job and doesn't make you think only about your next fix of caffeine.

    Ahhhh! Happy days (early 70's) that you took me back to, James.
    My grandad always used to smoke a pipe and the penknives that you mentioned must have been a necessity of pipe smoking because my grandad always used to shave slivers of 'baccy off his block (Gold Leaf springs to mind) and then "rub" it. I used to love stripping his pipes down and cleaning all the gunk (tar) out with pipe-cleaners and, again, that penknife (the bowl). He gave it up when "the government kept taxing him more". He was a "brass tacks and braces" bloke, was my grandad.

I used to spend my time writing drinking earl grey tea or green tea. My husband and I opted to have a "tea bar" at our wedding . Now as a 27 year old woman I enjoy both tea and coffee on a weekly basis. Depends on the mood I'm in and what is available. Lately it's been black tea with cream and sugar.
