One other trait that I seem to have kept as a result is an inexhaustible thirst for tea! No wonder Britain are such great tea drinkers!<\/p>\n<p>Brooke Bond was based in England and therefore many of the cards have a British theme to the series. For example Trees in Britain, British Butterflies, British Costume and the like would have a limited interest in the Americas.
