Please find below the scheduled tea alarms for Friday 16th July 2026. This is the time that tea should be served, therefore please allow good time for water to be boiled, and tea brewing to be commenced before service.

Please ensure that you have an adequate supply of milk, sugar and sweetener to hand, recognising that milk may spoil quicker in warmer weather if left out of the fridge for a prolonged period of time, or if delivered in glass bottles to the doorstep. It is also advisable to provide biscuits or other suitable accompaniments. As no tea alarms scheduled for this date occur during the hours of 2PM and 6PM, there is no need for a supplementary ‘Afternoon Tea Spread’ service.

Whilst not time specific, it is still advised to consume one cup of tea, preferably with a biscuit before calling into any talk radio show to discuss football related activities. The BBC in particular have been advised to confirm such activity has taken place before allowing anyone on air. This follows on from advice provided yesterday (16th July 2026).

Please be advised that more in depth guidance on preparing for, and responding to a tea alarm (both scheduled and unscheduled), will be provided over the coming weeks.
