Profesor profesionalYesterday, I indulged in a classic English cream tea, featuring a warm scone accompanied by butter, strawberry jam, clotted cream, and a pot of tea.
This brings to mind the idiom 'Not for all the tea in China.'
Meaning: This phrase signifies that no amount of incentive could persuade someone to do something.
Example: 'I wouldn't skydive—not for all the tea in China!'
The tradition of cream tea has deep roots in England, with some tracing its origins back to the 11th century at Devon's Tavistock Abbey.

Hi Tim! My favourite British idiom is "it's not my cup of tea", it's very useful and I can use it easily.

It's a nice idea 🥳! But I don't believe you wouldn't skydive… It’s my dream 😉 - to do it with my English teacher 👻 🪂🪂 if I get my B2/C1 certificate. What do you think about?
One of my favourite English idioms is: After the hitting the books I would like to be a couch potato, to chill out or hang out with my friends.
