Always accept a cuppa but usually don't drink it, pour it in the flower bed or something.
Makes people feel good giving you a cuppa, but too much and you're looking for somewhere to offload 'cos your back teeth are floating.
Coffee or tea I find most do it differentlly from how I like it.

I never have a cuppa when offered by a customer. Its usually awful and it slows you down. I say very nicely that I have a flask in the van but thanks for asking.

Normally got too much on and it slows me down so normally say just had 1 at last house but thanks anyways
but got man flu at moment and really lacking energy so only did 11 jobs yesterday and had a cuppa and a chat with a few of the customers ... made a nice relaxing change

btw coffee white 2 sugars (large)
 
if your really in need od a cuppa you can do what Gav Camm does he says "got any hot water love?"
yes     
"great tea 2 sugars then please"

Looks like you are at the worse end of it. Actually this happens to me one time too. I was cleaning the house and they give me tea but tea was very tasty. They use some kind of tea spice from India.

Never refuse, if you say no once they dont ask again and one day you will be desperate for a cuppa

Same here. Some feel rejected or summat if you refuse. Always say yes please  ;D
