Do you suppose the OP of the original wank was attempting a socio-political analysis of milk consumption in the lower socio-economic groupings of British society all along?
Though given the most obtrusively tea-drinking fandom at present seems to be Sherlock* and fandom writers have a positive obsession with John buying milk both the issues of class** and the issues of what sort of tea is drinkable without milk don't seem all that relevant.
*and if I never hear the word "cuppa" in a fanfic again it'll be too soon. **well, apart from in those peculiar fics which appear to believe "grammar school boy, University of London educated doctor and officer in the British army" somehow adds up to "semi-literate peasant" in the British class system
