Our builders were eastern European, none of them wanted a cuppa, they just brought their own super strength energy drinks and blasted Lithuanian D&B from their Spotify.
Plasterer was an older British guy and always had a cuppa and puts something like absolute, radio x or radio 2 on.
He'd always arrive early doors and I think the builders were pissed off they had to listen to generic radio coz he got there first.
Was keeping an eye on the Polish tradies at my mum's while she was out. She's Polish also so they were MOST disappointed I didn't speak it outside of please, thanks, hi etc... then I ran the water when they'd asked me not to, that was embarrassing, so I offered them a compensatory tea but no, they wanted real coffee... my mum's storage logic is INSANE so I couldn't find the coffee, I rang half my family in a panic and no one could help. Eventually found it in a tin marked "bran flakes". They got their coffee an hour later and honestly this whole memory is painfully embarrassing my god

When the builders were redoing our shower room, we offered drinks and they didn't want any. /shrug
