On 17/6/04, FRA, discombobulated, offered:

I amused the canteen staff at breakfast on the Sunday morning - I took my
big mug with me and while all and sundry were pouring coffee down their
throats, I asked for some boiling water. Then in front of them I tossed
in my Earl Grey teabag (yeah, I know, but needs must...) and asked one of
the girls for some milk. A styrofoam cup the size of an oil drum,
brimming with milk was duly handed back. "No no my dear, just need some
for the tea", I said. She smiled, blinding me with some expensive dental
scaffolding.

And I even had sugar in the tea - barbarian!


Cheers,
  Cotty
