Wild horses couldn't drag someone away I have pondered this idiom and I have come to the conclusion that it is true. I don’t have to refer to personalities as it would be shaped by character or mannerisms; or even relate to how some times the phrase refers to people’s selfish nature that kicks in once in a while. But who am I kidding yet in actual sense existence in many cases calls for selfishness in order to survive?

Awed on a luxurious flight Superfluity does not seem to have its limits especially when you are looking to expand what one would seem to call comfort.

I could go on and on but these are some of the questions the English will ask you in terms of refreshments as long as you are on British soil. Forget about our “can I offer you a drink?

Anyone familiar with the British culture knows how committed these folks are to their tea.
