Tea and old tradition

Afternoon tea

A cup of tea

Afternoon tea is a light meal typically eaten between 3pm and 5pm. It originated in the United Kingdom, though various places that used to be part of the former British Empire also have such a meal. However, changes in social customs and working hours mean that most Britons only take afternoon tea on special/formal occasions.

Traditionally, loose tea would be served in a teapot with milk and sugar. This would be accompanied by various sandwiches (customarily cucumber, egg and cress, fish paste, ham, and smoked salmon), scones (with butter, clotted cream and jam — see cream tea) and usually cakes and pastries (such as Battenberg, fruit cake or Victoria sponge). The food would be often served in a tiered stand.

While afternoon tea used to be an everyday event, nowadays it is more likely to be taken as a treat in a hotel, café, or tea shop, although many Britons still have a cup of tea and slice of cake or chocolate at teatime. Accordingly, many hotels now market a champagne cream tea.

High tea

Afternoon Tea at the Istanbul Kempinski Hotel

High tea (also known as meat tea^[1]) is an early evening meal, typically eaten between 5pm and 6pm in the evening. It would be eaten as a substitute for both afternoon tea and the evening meal. It is now largely replaced by a later evening meal.

It would usually consist of cold meats, eggs and/or fish, cakes and sandwiches. In a family, it tends to be less formal and is an informal snack (featuring sandwiches, biscuits, pastry, fruit and the like) or else it is the main evening meal.

On farms or other working class environments, "high tea" would be the traditional, substantial meal eaten by the workers immediately after nightfall, and would combine afternoon tea with the main evening meal. See also The UK Tea Council Definition.

In recent years, high tea has become a term for elaborate afternoon tea, though this is American usage and mainly unrecognised in Britain. However, this usage is disfavored by etiquette advisors, such as Miss Manners (see below).

Main evening meal

In most of Wales, Northern England, parts of Scotland, and some areas of Southern England, the three main meals are referred to as "breakfast, dinner and tea" or "breakfast, lunch and tea" ^[2] where in other areas they might be "breakfast, lunch and dinner".

The Beatles were a pop and rock band from Liverpool, England formed in 1960. Primarily the band consisted of John Lennon (rhythm guitar, vocals), Paul McCartney (bass guitar, vocals), George Harrison (lead guitar, vocals) and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals). Throughout their career, The Beatles are recognised for leading the mid-1960s musical "British Invasion" into the United States. Although their initial musical style was rooted in 1950s rock and roll and homegrown skiffle, the group explored genres ranging from Tin Pan Alley to psychedelic rock. Their clothes, styles, and statements made them trend-setters, while their growing social awareness saw their influence extend into the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s. After the band broke up in 1970, all four members embarked upon solo careers.

LIVERPOOL FC

If it wasn't for one man, Liverpool Football Club would never have been born. When Everton left Anfield in a dispute over rent in 1892, club chairman John Houlding stayed behind along with a handful of supporters and just three first-team players. But he was determined to see football continue at the ground. He formed a new club from scratch, chose the name Liverpool… and created a legend.

Even John Houlding couldn't have predicted how successful it would become. More than 100 years on, no English club can match the LiverpoolFC roll of honour; League Champions 18 times, FA Cup winners seven times, League Cup winners seven times, European Cup winners five times and UEFA Cup winners three times.

When it is completed, the History channel will chart the rise and rise of Liverpool FC to the very summit of the England game, from the struggles of the early years right up to Gerard Houllier's historic treble in 2001. This channel will recall glorious domestic victories and European triumphs and reflect on the tragedies of Heysel and Hillsborough.

We've focused on 10 key dates in Liverpool Football Club's history to begin with but over time, we'll have over 100 chapters in this section alone as we present the ultimate history of England's greatest ever football club. This is a story of incredible passion and pride - a story that not only inspires Liverpool fans but football supporters the world over.

The clock tower is situated at the north-eastern end of the Houses of Parliament in Westminster, London




The nickname Big Ben is the subject of some debate. The nickname was applied first to the Great Bell; it may have been named after Sir Benjamin Hall, who oversaw the installation of the Great Bell, or after boxing's English Heavyweight Champion Benjamin Caunt. Within the Palace of Westminster and Houses of Parliament, the only recognised use of the nickname is for the bell.. Elsewhere, Big Ben is used to refer to the clock, the tower and the bell, although the nickname is not universally accepted as referring to the clock and tower.. Some authors of works about the tower, clock and bell sidestep the issue by using the words Big Ben first in the title, then going on to clarify that the subject of the book is the clock and tower as well as the bell.

With the reopening of the theatres in 1594, Shakespeare associated with Lord Chamberlain's company, who was the queens cousin. Christopher Marlowe was assassinated, Robert Greene and Thomas Nashe died as consequence of a desease, George Peele was ill, Thomas Lodge and Jhon Lyly stoped writting and George Chapman moved to another company. It was a great opportunity for Shakespeare and in two years time he wrotte lots of amazing plays which the public loved.

In 1596 Shakespeare's son died in an accident. In this time there was a great political and social change. This change concerned in the theatres, too. One day the shakespeare's company were arrested by the police during one performance. When they went out, the politicians only allowed the kids performance and for this reason, Shakespeare decided to write a performance called Henry IV which was joking with love, dignity, respect...Later, Shakespeare wrote more performance. They were about happiness, love's reflections...

In 1597 the Shakespeare's company had to go out the theatre where they worked and they built The Globe with illegaly wood that they stole in the old theatre. The Globe was a cut-price and fortuitous construction. The first performance that they did was Henry V. Shakespeare wasn't allowed to do more historical performance but after this they wrote Julius Caesar.

The Shakespeare's company represented Hamlet in front of the queen. For this time Shakespeare began to write stories without clarity.

The Queen Elisabeth died in 1603. The new king decided to appointed the Shakeaspeare's company, his own company but Shakespeare didn't like the idea and left it. King Lear and Othello were performance that Shakespeare wrote in this time.

The last years, Shakespeare wrote The Tempest and later, he retired. He began to live with his family in the biggest house inside a village.

answers

1. Lord chamberlains men was the first shakespeare's company

2.there was only 2

3.
Shakespeare's company only built the Globe because they could not use the special playhouse that their chief actor Richard Burbage's father had built for them in 1596, a roofed theatre inside the city, in Blackfriars.
James Burbage had a long history as a theatrical entrepreneur. In 1576 he built the first successful amphitheatre, known as The Theatre, in a London suburb. Twenty years later, when the lease on The Theatre's land was about to expire, he built the Blackfriars as its replacement. But the wealthy residents of Blackfriars got the government to block its use for plays, so his capital was locked up uselessly.
4.
It was built by two brothers, Cuthbert and Richard Burbage, who inherited its predecessor, The Theatre, from their father, James.
5.
Half the shares in the new theatre were kept by the Burbages. The rest were assigned equally to Shakespeare and other members of the Chamberlain's Men (the company of players who acted there), of which Richard Burbage was principal actor and of which Shakespeare had been a leading member since late 1594.
It was the lack of money to pay for it that produced the new consortium. The Burbage sons' inheritance was tied up in the Blackfriars, so extra finance was needed. That was why Shakespeare and another four of his fellows were made co-owners of the new Globe.
5.
The Theatre had closed, ostensibly for good, in 1597, and the owner of the land on which it stood threatened to pull the building down once the lease had expired. The Burbages and their associates anticipated the threat, however, and in late 1598 dismantled The Theatre and carried the materials to Bankside (a district of Southwark stretching for about half a mile west of London Bridge on the south bank of the River Thames).
Without The Theatre, the company had to rent a playhouse. Then at the end of 1598 they decided to build one for themselves. The shortage of cash made the consortium reluctant traditionalists, giving up the idea of an indoor theatre in the city and using the old Theatre's timbers and therefore the same basic auditorium shape for the new building. The old playhouse was one of their few remaining resources. They could not use it in situ because the lease had expired, so they dismantled it and took the timbers (illegally) to make the skeleton of their new amphitheatre. The Globe was a cut-price and fortuitous construction.
6. When the Globe was built , there were two other theatres in Southwark already. Which ones ? The Swan and The Rose
7. It was probably completed by the autumn of 1599 .
8.
In 1613, during a performance of Henry VIII, the thatch of the Globe was accidentally set alight by a cannon, set off to mark the King's entrance onstage in a scene at Cardinal Wolsey's palace. The entire theatre was destroyed within the hour.
9.
By June 1614 it had been rebuilt, this time with a tiled gallery roof and a circular shape.
10.
It was pulled down in 1644, two years after the Puritans closed all theatres, to make way for tenement dwellings.
11. .
Acting at the Globe was radically different from viewing modern Shakespeare on screen.
The plays were staged in the afternoons, using the light of day. Therefore, all references to weather or time of the day had to be given to the audience through the text.
The audience surrounded the stage on all sides. No scenery was used, except for occasional emblematic devices like a throne or a bed. It was almost impossible not to see the other half of the audience standing behind the players. Consequently much of the staging was metatheatrical, conceding the illusory nature of the game of playing, and making little pretense to stage realism .
