Well if the London bombings media coverage is to be believed then the English do everything stoicly with a stiff upper lip, which I always thought would make it quite hard to eat and possibly drink.
Are there any stoic englishman around who can explain how you eat and drink with a stiff upper lip?

There once was a man named Bruce
Who liked to sit on a spruce
He ate lots of chowder
And yelled at me louder:
"I'm talking to YOU, Mrs. Hughes!"
