Tea with milk and sugar Mr Beckham?

I was watching BBC World the other day and there was an interview with David Beckham. One of the things the lady asked him was about his tea habits (why would anybody need to know that?).

— Tea with milk and sugar?
— No just sugar. I know that sounds weird.

To which statement she agreed. And here we are, spot on the quintessential English culinary habit, tea with milk, as drinking it without, you could be perceived as a weirdo, if not an outright rebel.
