I ban you because it is nearly evening... I only class it evening at 7 and that is soon but not now.

I ban Drakefell01 because he edited his post that was at a time nearly around 7:00 PM seven hours later.

Spoiler

Looks like he's got the number 7 (seven) stuck in a revolving loop in his brain.

I ban you because you have posted 10 times less messages than me.

I ban Pagafyr because 7 is just my lucky number... I also ban anyone who does not like to drink tea at teatime... me and Rachel have been doing that daily for weeks now... I am even practicing my english accent.

I ban Oblivionaddicted for posting more times then I have? 

Spoiler

I think that is what he means???  It's is refreshing to notice that Oblivionaddicted isn't using a grammar app.  Or maybe that is why the posts he writes often confuse the reader slightly?

 

I ban Drakefell01 for drinking a lot of hot water every day at the same time of day.  Does drinking hot water flavored with an herbal tea keep people from becoming constipated, despondent, or tired?

Spoiler

He must have been raised by a gambler.  Don't forget 11 (eleven) and 13 (thirteen).  Anyone ever roll two dies and got thirteen dots face up?

I ban me for being curious about the purpose of English Tea Times?  How many of the people on the Island and surrounding lands drink tea once or three times or more a day?

I ban me if I insulted anyone of the Tea Time Culture on the Merry Island.

I ban anyone who has not posted in Ban for Fun since Saturday.

I ban anyone who doesn't know why there is a PM: Personal Message so they can have a private conversation in the PM area.

It's not like the BM area.  You don't have to give a sh!t about what anyone else might think if you don't want them involved in a conversation when you use the PM service.

I ban Pagafyr because just for fun I am ignoring all comments against tea as in the house I am living in it is a crime to insult tea there for you are banned from Rachel's house... not like you would come to england anyways.

I ban @Drakefell01 because it seems curiosity kills not just the curious cat, but also any desire to lean toward learning something new.

I ban George Middleton for acting strange and not wanting to know the history of Tea Drinking in the Merry Land of England.

So I am just going to do a search with Google Search, on, What is the history of England's love for Tea Time?

Look what I found:

Spoiler

The tradition of afternoon tea in England originated in the 19th century with Anna, the seventh Duchess of Bedford: 

 

• Origins

  The Duchess would get hungry around 4 PM, but dinner wasn't served until 8 PM. She would order tea and snacks like cakes and bread, and invite her friends to join her. 

   
• Popularity

  The tradition became popular with the Duchess's guests and spread throughout English society. It became a fashionable social event for members of polite society to meet for tea in the drawing room. 

   
• Democratization

  In the 19th and 20th centuries, afternoon tea became more widely embraced across social classes. Industrialization gave the middle class more leisure time and discretionary income, and more tea rooms and cafes made afternoon tea more accessible. 

   

Tea's popularity in England was also influenced by:

• The Portuguese

  The Portuguese Court favored tea, and a chest of tea was included in a gift to the British royal family. Catherine the Queen popularized tea among the British nobility. 

   
• Dutch medical men

  English philosopher John Locke developed a fondness for tea after spending time with Dutch medical men in the 1680s. These men contributed to tea's early popularity as a pharmaceutical. 

I have to do everything myself.  Some friend you are...

I ban you because I love tea and history.

I agree with Oblivionaddicted, we double-ban Pagafyr for insulting a culture... how dare he.
