Due to having an adverse reaction to Tannin I cant actually drink tea that much anymore :( So I am sadly a coffee man. But rejoice, neither the Audis or the Zook have space for either.
I must confess the the activities of the UK governments for the past couple of years have been watched with frank admiration and amazement by Lord Vetinari. Outright theft as a policy had never occured to him.

I think James May is more having a go at the loss of national pastimes/skills through not having the time to think whilst waiting for tea to mash etc.......

It also stands to reason that a Frenchman, having begun the day with a few small cups of that frightful sludge they serve in their cafés, would be far too jittery to sit down and patiently invent something like Samuel Crompton's spinning mule.

He would simply hop around ranting about cheese and Napoleon

Have you had a look at the comments?


most posters support him, but ask the same question that I had in mind when I read the article in the day it appeared in the paper (Saturday 28th October)

Where can I get a t-shirt like that??

Thanks, I might e-mail them.

It's on the list along with a Gretsch t-shirt (not available from official UK importer :( )
