Actually, British universities exist to facilitate the drinking of tea. Any research that gets done is considered a bonus, or in extreme cases, detrimental. 9:30am - start off with a cuppa. That'll last you through to official tea time at 10:30, which can easily be extended until lunchtime, wherein you'll need another cup of tea to prepare you for the afternoon.
