It’s weird to me that the upper one percent is classified as being people who earn roughly $422,000 yearly up into billions of dollars. Like, don’t get me wrong, $422,000 is a hell of a lot of money, but it doesn’t really compare to people who have enough cash to buy governments.

Here’s my interesting fact of the day! We all gave the daily dilemma when making tea do we put the milk in first or last? Well it all depends on what class you are. Or at least it did anyway! Let me explain. Back in the olden days, you had lovely bone china tea cups like the one displayed in the photo. You also had cups or mugs made from pottery. Now aristocrats and other wealthy individuals drank tea from bone china because they could afford to. Bone china can withstand hot water being poured into it so therefore would not crack. So they would put their milk in afterwards because there was no danger of the cup cracking. So people who did this where of generally an upper or middle class peer group with lots of money. For the lower classes and the working classes who could only afford cups or mugs made from pottery they had to put their milk in first to cool the hot water down because pottery cannot withstand the heat of boiling water making the cup or mug crack. Drinking tea was an acceptable thing to do by all classes, but depending on whether you did the milk first or not would tell others what type of social class you came from and whether you had money or not. #etiquette #etiquettetips #teapartytime #tea #teaparty #teacup #mug #bonechina #pottery #ceramic #teamug #aristocrat #aristocracy #nobility #gentry #landedgentry #socialclass #workingclass #middlecalss #upperclass #factoftheday #history #eccentric #gent #eccentricgent #lordsodbury #earlofsodbury (at Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmx5WSAHUk0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=i2pregw0cwo0
