Tea time!
LONDON, September 14 (Reuters Life!) - “Well I think we should all sit down and have a nice cup of tea, and some biscuits, nice ones mind you. Oh and some cake would be nice as well. Lovely.”
The British Library may have raised academic eyebrows when it decided that a Web site with this mission statement should be archived among those that may be of social significance, stamping it a modern classic of British popular culture.
www.nicecupofteaandasitdown.com — “a conduit for pent-up biscuit interest in the general public” according to its author, Nicey — regularly receives more than 60,000 views a week and is one of about 800 sites chosen in the past two years by the library as of possible interest to future scholars, at www.webarchive.org.uk.
