No I don't. I don't drink tea so if you want a drink, buy one at the shop or stay at home.

Plumber etc gets a cuppa and biscuit or cake.
Visiting friends that drop in unannounced get more or less the same if it is daytime, something stronger of an evening.
Invited guests will be fed with either a light lunch or a full on dinner/supper.

Always, and depending upon who they are and how far they've traveled, I offer them a meal too.
The next time that you have a visitor, give them some Ping to eat.
We serve a high tea every hour between 7AM - 8PM, so when a guest appears unannounced we have supplies at the ready.
sometimes if they're not someone unwanted or annoying

It depends if it's someone I'm glad to see or not. Service people always get offered tea/coffee/cold soft drink and biscuits or cake.
People I am glad to see get offered everything but my first born, but those who I am not so fond of get offered a cuppa and that's that.

In the main yes, not usually just to someone just dropping in with a quick message or something but anyone likely to be there for half an hour or more, then yes.
I always offer biscuits or a sandwich even and if they are there around meal times will offer them to stay for a meal too.
If it is evening,then I will offer an alcoholic drink too if they want one.

I very rarely drink it myself so no, it doesn't enter my mind to do so. If one of my friends asks for one I just tell them to go and make on, I'm not a bloody servant
Do you offer your visitors a cuppa tea/coffee and a biscuit?
I always offer visitors a cold drink, or tea, Coffee, and biscuits, family also plus cooking them some food or making them a sarnie, as I think it is only good manners and hospitable to do so. However, I can't say that I am offered the same, as it is rare that I am :nono:
I would offer a service worker tea as well, regular Mrs Doyle I am :hehe:
Same here :D

I think it's extremely rude not to offer a drink if someone calls :nono:

Where do your meals come from, meals on wheels :worry:

:shocked: I am funny in that the kitchen is sort of my domain, and I won't let others go make their own food and drink in MY kitchen :D You have got to try to be more hospitable to your guests/friends Locke :joker:
