I guess the Brits better dust off the idea of the “4-minute Warning”.

Old Cold War euphamism. Once inbound ballistic missiles were spotted, the UK had about 4 minutes until the first ones detonated.

4 minute warning? I call that Pimm's O'clock!

Or... Three minutes to boil the kettle, one minute to let the tea brew, slowly add milk, and sip at leisure. Procrastinate at leisure. Say "was that it?"
