Do you drink tea with the vicar

Question

I keep saying "More tea vicar?" it is a lovely expression after laughing at getting angry over nothing, but does anyone actually have tea with a vicar these days?

Answer 1

Actually I did only a couple of weeks ago (except that he is a rector, since I live in a rural benefice).  He was trying to talk me into returning to the flock after my escape to Rome.

My Catholic arch-diocese had a vicar, but he caught something and died.  Maybe off a teacup?

Answer 2

I agree with you hon - it's a great expression! Unfortunately I do not have tea with the vicar - I think he may object to my potty mouthed outbursts (which do occur on occasion!!) so to answer your question... NO I don't! (great question tho!) x*x

Answer 3

no, only absinthe with the bishop

Answer 4

I'm one of those elderly matrons who regularly has tea with the vicar and lunch the last friday of the month, and our vicar is a long haired guitar playing hippy and one of the funniest people I know

Answer 5

The vicar's wife, probably.

Answer 6

I'm American, so I guess that expression would not apply to me.  However, when I saw your question, all I could think of was that great British movie "Keeping Mum".  

Answer 7

Yes! If you go after services there are these elderly matrons that bake cakes and other goodies for the vicar. Admitted, apart from the food I doubt you'd have a good time.

Answer 8

Most of the vicars I know prefer stout, but I'd share a cup of tea if they asked.
