High Tea Etiquette

I am one of those who 'discovered' clotted cream late in life. I have never experienced tea in Harrod's or any hotels in UK, but British Airways serves 'afternoon tea' during the flight from London to Chicago (Flt 297). I have had clotted cream several times in the flight without knowing what I was eating. Individually, they don't taste good, but after I 'learned' how to 'put together' correctly from a passenger (Brit?) sitting next to my seat, I discovered it is very tasty. The last time I had it (about two weeks ago in the same flight), my teenage daughter was with me and asked me about the contents (nutritional) of the clotted cream. Her contention was, 'if it is so good, it must be loaded with fat and high calories.' Does anyone know how much fat/calorie it contains? I don't want to hijack this 'tea discussion', but I am curious about the fat contents.

regarding catching the waitperson's eye at a classy tea shop, I think the previus is incorrect. <BR> <BR>13. If you run out of tea, don't bang your cup on the table to signal for more. <BR> Discreetly signal the waiter/waitress with a small motion of your left <BR> forefinger. (Use of the middle finger has no status in refined tea emporiums. It <BR> just isn't done.) <BR> <BR>I had better results using my fore and middle fingers extended with the palm of my hand towards me. My bill was presented promptly and they even helped me on with my coat.

PS - the cornish garden we visited today actually produces tea - the only place in the UK [adn possibly europe] to do so.
