Same for when they go someplace. “ I popped over to Millicent’s for a spot of tea.”
or is it a “cuppa “ ?

I'd say I put it in the oven (or maybe bung it in th'oven) or went over to someone's house but then I'm a Northerner. We talk a different language from Southerners 
And in the north, going to someone's house for tea would mean a light meal. It's either light meal in the middle of the day called lunch and a big meal in the evening called dinner or a big meal in the middle of the day called dinner and a light meal in the evening called tea.
Of course southerners call the big meal in the evening supper while northerners use the word supper for a hot milky drink and biscuit before going to bed.

Not to mention Welsh - my husband is Welsh (though he doesn't speak Welsh)
It has been said that the English are bilingual. We speak both our own regional version of English and Queen's English. (Should that be King's English now?) We use regional English where we live and Queen's/King's English when talking to someone from another region or another country. But we still use the regional accent when talking Queen's English, it's just the vocabulary we change.
When I was at university I was told by a Welsh speaking student that southern Welsh is different from northern Welsh.

I mean, everyone starts somewhere and he's buying them, so he can do what he wants with them
We also tend to stick to our native regional English when angry. My mum used to scold me in her Scottish accent, but when she was happy with me, she spoke more of London (England) accent. It did help me predict how the conversation was going to go atleast.Not to mention Welsh - my husband is Welsh (though he doesn't speak Welsh)

He has been here before. But he lives on the other side of the country. Last time, he also had a complete wish list but he was short of tanks at that time.
I was looking at your profile and since I first started interacting with you, I thought NL meant New Zealand
but is it New Foundland Canada?
It's the Netherlands. So, Holland...I was looking at your profile and since I first started interacting with you, I thought NL meant New Zealand
Okay, so I was wrong on all accounts lol
