I´d like to talk about the origins of high tea in England. afternoon tea was started in the mid-1800s by the Duchess of Bedford. Around this time, gas or oil light was introduced in wealthier homes, and eating a late dinner (around eight or nine PM) became fashionable. At the time, there were only two meals each day -- a mid-morning, breakfast-like meal and the other was an increasingly late dinner-like meal.
The story goes that the Duchess found herself with a "sinking feeling" (likely fatigue from hunger during the long wait between meals) and decided to have some friends over for assorted snacks and tea (a very fashionable drink at the time). The idea of an afternoon tea gathering spread across high society and became a favorite pastime of ladies of leisure. Later, it spread beyond the highest elites and became more accessible for some other socioeconomic groups.

[edit] Slightly "Narrower"?
Narrower than what? The article needs to be edited to either clear up grammatical errors like that one, or to clarify what the comparative adjectives refer to. I cannot, because I don't know what the glass even looks like, but if someone who does could edit for me, that would be much appreciated.--Dark Green (talk) 23:48, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wrong glass
The glass in the photo is not a Collins glass. A Collins glass is more cylindrical. Rees11 (talk) 03:35, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Size of the glass is conflicting
Article says that glass is "holding 240 to 350 ml (12-16 fluid ounces)". Either I am calculating wrong or this is impossible since 1 fluid ounce seems to be approximately 30 millilitres. This would mean that collins glass holds 8 to 12 fluid ounces or 360 to 480 ml. --80.221.48.109 (talk) 23:19, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
