According to an article in Management Today, the British manager still stops work for tea. The French managing director of Novotel, the hotel group, tells what happened at his first management
meeting when he took over its English operation in 1991:
"The meeting was in the afternoon, and it got to about 3.30 and everyone started looking at their watches. I didn't know what was going on. I turned to my secretary, who was English, and she said
that they probably wanted to break for tea. I couldn't understand it. In France we just carry on until we have finished. Now we always break for tea."
