Tea-loving Turkish gentlemen react to 6.5-magnitude earthquake

Two men in a shop in the western Turkish province of Çanakkale refused to leave their tea behind, despite being shaken by a 6.5-magnitude earthquake on Saturday, which caused damage and minor injuries in several areas.

Security camera footage shows the moments inside and outside of a Çanakkale shop. Turkey is the world leader in the list of countries by tea consumption per capita. Each Turk drinks an average of 7.52 kg of tea a year.

Last xmas, when restaurants were evacuated in Belfast's cathedral quarter due to a bomb (http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/local-national/northern-ireland/tens-of-thousands-of-pounds-in-trade-lost-by-cathedral-quarter-bomb-29841211.html), many revelers took their meals with them and ate them in the street. One commented "well, I've paid for it."

Terrorism in NI seems to have degraded into inconvenience.
