English afternoon Tea.
I don't really know what to say about this person, so I'll leave you to make up your own minds.
Enjoy your Tea, and do remember to stir your Tea 'back and forth'; never in a circular movement!
We, of course, do absolutely nothing that he suggests.

I don't know if it is a slang Australian word and I don't even know how it is spelt as I have never seen it written, but I immediately thought, he is such a poonce.
He's always pontificating about the 'correct' way to do things, smugness emanates from every pore. I also think he's laughing at us plebs who dare to stir our tea the wrong way. Who cares what he thinks anyway.
Hahaha, wherever did you get him from Cro? Oh my goodness, what must our American friends think of us, good thing we're not all like that. I'll carry on stirring in circles and drinking from the dreaded builder's mug thank you....
Pompous prick is the first thing that springs to mind, although I do think the Daily Fail use him as clickbait! He's got he kind of face only a mother could love (and that's pushing it)!
Come on, society would collapse if we didn't know the correct way to place a napkin on our lap. He's only trying to save us from ourselves. I thought he was rather a sweetie. :)
From a flooded in farm in extreme Southwest Iowa in the USA - the home and deep taproot of all that is practical and 'necessary,' all I can say is, Oh My.
My honest opinion (and first take) is that this wouldn't have been such a funny video many years ago. Etiquette was a big thing then (or so it seemed to me). Nowadays not so much. We have become a relaxed society.... which whether good or bad, I rather like.
While he's a good laugh, it's no worse than American women who get dressed up in 19th century dresses for "afternoon high tea: (as they call it). Even funnier are the ones who wear hats and shawls and gloves to go to "high tea".

Very 'refained'.

From now on I shall be cutting my scownes (even though it pains me to call them that), and stirring my Tea clockwise.
Prat!

Yup.

Yup.
that was a reply to Andrew by the way!
Same here. And I'll have Lemon Drizzle Cake with my PG Tips.
I rather liked his spelling.

I hope you took notes!
I say, one shall tell one's man this instant.
Does it apply to morning coffee too do you think?
his head was rather too shiny for me
Afternoon Tea is big business down here. Melburnians just love it - and pay top dollar to take part in the charade.
Mind you it is nice to have all those lovelies put in front of you and know you aren't going to be the one doing the washing up
Geeeves; one more mug of coffee for table No 5.
His personal brow-mopper will be in trouble.
I did have Tea at The Ritz once.... never again!

He is a friend of Dorothy.
Frankly, I'm amazed I got this far in life without his help.
Hahaha thanks for the laugh first thing this morning!
I hope you drank your morning Tea correctly!!!

Glad to be of service Tim. Now go forth and drink Tea correctly (as we all will).

He is a ghastly snob.
Now I shall know what to do the next time I pop into Betty's in Harrogate.
Gee,the man is a complete egg. I drink my tea in a mug so I must be common!

They aren't hurting anyone, so I leave them alone
Even today there are ways of doing certain things, but he takes it to another level. Anyway, who is he to tell us how to stir our Tea!
Spot on!
Ah, Betty's. A national institution.
As do we all, Jo.
They sound a lot more fun than Mr Hanson. Maybe he could join them, and tell them where they're going wrong.
Yes, well, there are friends of Dorothy and there are people I wouldn't piss on..........unless he begged.
