Tell you what, anyone who comes and visits the new premises will have the honour of me making them a cup of tea!  Now, just to be clear, I only make about half a dozen hot drinks per year as I'm purely a Coca-Cola man, so you'll be part of quite an elite club!

:D :P

Would you trust someone to make you a cuppa who only ever drinks coke... :-\

And be careful what you wish for Leon - the Birthday Big Bash is just around the corner. You could find yourself behind a burco wearing a pinnie sipping down darjeeling with Mrs Pennywhistle and the W.I ladies =O

Hehe, that's a good point!  I do warn people that my tea/coffee skills are limited at best, but no-one has complained so far...  :-\

The missus used to work in a Starbucks, so I can draft her in for barista duty if necessary!

:D

Not being a tea or coffee drinker for 40 years after major dental work as a kid, nobody asks me to make tea or coffee which is fine by me :).

I must be the only teacher in the world who doesn't drink the stuff (apart from the amazing Mrs Lemmey)!

Is that all round your face or the floor?

Clearly promotion has gone to your stomach!  ;)

Lapsang. Just a pinch of the lovely leaves, let simmer for 15 minutes.

Cheers,
