    In the municipality of Oak Bay, just east of downtown, it is said that they are "More British than the British". The border of Oak Bay with the rest of the city is known as "The Tweed Curtain". Imagine if you will one of the quiet villages of Britain in the 1950's.

    I don't usually do tea, but my wife and I go to this place on the Oak Bay border once a year or so. You will then see an XJR parked outside and a kilted couple inside. The tea selection is fantastic, and their "Big Muckle Giant Tea for Two" is the thing to order.
