I heard a different version of the 'tea first' v. 'milk first' debate.The upper classes added milk to the cup first because their tea services were made of fine porcelain, and pouring a hot liquid directly into them could have cracked them. The lower classes, on the other hand, drank tea from sturdy mugs, so you could pour the tea in first without worrying.

I thought it was the other way around?The rich had expensive cups that didn't break when you poured the hot tea in (Proper porcelain from China), but the poor only had cheap earthenware that cracked unless you put the milk in first?
