What is the name for someone who puts milk in tea before sugar?

In upper class England, there is a derogatory term for someone who puts the milk into their tea before they add the sugar.





I remember hearing it in a documentary about English high society but can't remember what the actual term is.





Thanks for the help

A "commoner" would fit the bill, but that is the way I do it.





I think the same applies to those who put the milk in the cup before pouring the tea.





The correct order for the 'toffs' would be tea, milk and then sugar.
Reply:I've heard a quote somewhere, "She rather a milk-in-first sort of person." I thought it sounded pretty funny.
