... ask 10 of your friends what constitutes afternoon tea. If they don't mention a cup of tea then ask... would you expect a cup of tea with something from the menu called afternoon tea? I will try this myself. I bet the vast majority, if not all, will be expecting a cup of tea to be included even though it doesn't actually say it is included.

If BA know that a cuppa would be expected to be included and it is not then I believe that it is disingenuous not to point that out.

so why would one bother to put the prices of the teas in the same section on the page, if they were included, there really would be no need.
