builder's

Belonging to craftsman

Builder's is British informal shorthand for builder's tea—strong, milky tea with sugar, the kind traditionally drunk by construction workers on break.

The term evokes working-class refreshment: I'll have a builder's, two sugars.

Sometimes extended to a builder's breakfast, meaning a full English fry-up.
