The solution is an instant coffee. Much quicker. Tea is foul anyway.Richard Ruck wrote:Never found enough time during break for a brew AND a roll-up.

Oh, we love it really. I did, however, get asked not to smoke by Miss Azancot (is that how you spell it?) when I went to visit my wee bro a couple of weeks back. Hmph. And woohoo Mr Deller's back! Love the man.99yorkpj wrote:I think for many the 'browns' still wins..... those poor souls who trek across big side every spare minute of the day I'm sure will confirm the fact...!

That lumpy stuff we were served at breakfast with a big dollop of that gorgeous sugar in the centre was a real 'comfort-food'
