Have you ever heard of \"elevenses\"? At eleven o\'clock a lot of people stop working and have a cup of tea or coffee, or, if they are at school, a bottle of milk. This mid-morning snack is called \"elevenses\". \"Elevenses\" also means, of course, time for a chat and there is always a lot to talk about. Ladies talk about the weather and the latest fashion. Men discuss politics, business and the latest news. Mike and Jane work at an office. They usually have their \"elevenses\" right in the office room. It does not take them much time, fifteen minutes all in all. Mike likes his tea rather sweet and strong. Jane usually has a cup of coffee with one lump of sugar.
