"No, can't be taking the mask off", he says.

Well now what do I do?

As a Brit, this tbh.

Or rock awkwardly back on your heels, do an uncomfortable half-smile and drop the classic "Been busy this week?" If he replies "Not too bad," or some variation thereof, then your social obligations have been met and you can now potter around the house doing nothing and pretending to act natural until he fucks off. This is the way.

This is a 100% blow-by-blow of what really happened.

It's what always happens. There is no escaping it.

"How's your day going?" I said. "This is my first job of the day, absolutely ridiculous", he said.

One can't quite say why that was absolutely ridiculous but I nodded in agreement anyway and then said "I'll just be down the other end of the house, shout if you need anything" and scampered away.

Are you still in Scotland? I figured he'd say "can't be taking me mask off" but I suppose that's more somewhere else

I'm in Newcastle currently, you might hear "me" here. A scottish plumber might say something like "cannae take the mask off, like".

"Kettle's over there if you change your mind mate, or grab another drink if you like. Shout if you need me"

Or you just meekly nod, stand awkwardly until one of you goes "Right then..." and collectively breathe an internal sigh of relief.

My recommendation would be to stand nearby while he works, nervously fold your hands together, and make uncomfortable small talk.

You offered the cuppa tae so you did well.
I would have pointed to the kettle and the teabags along with the sugar/milk as needed.

I would also say if he wanted a cuppa tae he could take a break and drink it and you'd go for a chicken fillet roll.

But that's in Ireland. So England might differ.

Is tea as standard practice in Ireland as it is in the UK? And is it in the whole of UK, or is it more an English thing? It's so exotic for me because in Sweden we're just religious around coffee
