The British don't play with their tea, the easiest way to a British man's heart (I mean a typical white British) is through his cup of tea or should I say cuppa tea.

Tea is to the British what kolanuts is to the Igbos.

I'm guessing this granny never actually fired that weapon, the recoil of an AK-47 is enough to throw her several feet backwards.

with that gun, she's more of a danger to herself than the intruder she's trying to fight off grin
