The Guardian devotes space to what has been dubbed the "Baby Bond." Prime Minister Tony Blair today is to announce several policies to help combat child poverty. In one of the proposals, each child would be given a trust fund of up to $750 that could grow to up to $10,000 by the time the child reaches 18.The amount a child is given will depend on the income bracket of his or her family. But Is Tea Enough? The Brits now have a scientific rationalization for their favorite national pastime, as if one was needed. The Times explains "why a cuppa makes the British who they are."

So, The Times reasons, afternoon tea is really part of the hereditary makeup of the Brits.
