Do you love tea enough to name yourself after it ? Image Credit: CC BY-SA 2.0 Najwa A. Marafie The 31-year-old concrete factory worker, who started drinking tea after his grandfather introduced him to it at the age of 12, now drinks 20 cups of the beverage every single day.

The idea of taking things one step further however came from one of his co-workers.

"I was at work one day and my mate Billy said, 'chuffin' hell, you drink so much of that stuff you should change your name to Yorkshire Tea'," he recalled. "I thought that was a great idea."It wasn't long before he had officially changed his name to 'Nathan Yorkshire Tea Garner'.

"Friends and family mainly think it's a bit of a silly thing to do," he said.

"My mum Cheryl thinks it's great. She laughed out loud when I told her."
