I say old chap that is just so typically British, don't you know.

Oh and BTW, further to Brysters comments, we actually have a tea caddy, which if opened by the uninitated will tell the tale. It is laquered, and if you don't know how to do it then when the lid is replaced the pattern does not match up, thus making it obvious that someone has been pilfering the tea. Cunning, what!

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
