Tea Time vs. Tee Time

There are days that I wonder what happened to the days of afternoon tea? The time ladies would get together and socialize while catching up on current affairs and discussing the latest fashions. Men have their tee time on the golf course, so what happened to our tea time? Don't get me wrong we still have Sunday Brunch, but tea time sounds more like a calm social ladies gathering that we must bring back to life. I mean why should Britain have all the fun, so lets RSVP to Afternoon Tea time!
