I have one tea-bag left.
I can’t cycle to Carrefour as the brakes on my bike need replacing, not that they’d be that useful when cycling on snow. I think that the tea-bag has already been used once, so I could, at a push, make two more cups of tea with it, but that is going to taste dire. This is definitely a crisis.
It’s -3°C outside so I really don’t feel like going all the way into town to the small English shop and buying another box at twice the price as they do at Carrefour. I don’t want any of that herbal tea that the Twat has given me over the years as a ‘guilt gift’ on a trip back from Holland. I need proper, hot builder’s tea. I have the hot water and splash of milk, but one miserable tea-bag for the entire day and this will not do.
The Twat’s suggestion of drinking coffee is stupid because after 3 cups my tongue starts to feel all furry. I’ve no idea why, but it does. So I shall have to persevere throughout the day by hand-wringing every simple drop of tea still left in my tea-bag.
Unless.
I owe Tony two eggs. He drinks builder’s tea. Hmm.

Make him go and get the tea. That’s what they’re there for…
I don’t think there can be many worse domestic crises than running out of teabags – you have my sympathy!
A bit of a cock-up on the catering front then ….. I hope that you will have learnt a lesson from this dreadful situation …. *slurp*
I feel really guilty sitting here sipping at my strong Irish tea. Hope Tony had a good supply.
This, Madam, is your punishment for thinking happy thoughts about sn*w. Consider yourself punished!
email me a postal address – We have Ty-phoo ready for dispatch !
Really, Toad? I mean, really? I’ll have to figure out how to see your email address first…
Just to make you want a good cuppa even more… go to http://www.makemineabuilders.com/
Oh dear. I hate running out of tea. It gives me an impending sense of doom, and a feeling that I’ve failed in my domesticity duties. But why oh why won’t anyone here at work buy any milk for me to steal?
PS, yes, it was me on DG. I think I rubbed him up the wrong way.
Dear god. As an Englishman I know this is an emergency of epic proporsans (even if I can’t spell proporsans for the dyslexic life of me).
I will make sure an emergency tea rescue team is sent out at once.
Hit the wine as usual!
This very nearly happened to me today; every day this week I’ve been going in to town in the knowledge that I was getting low. Luckily the Assam was on special offer in ASDA as I went through. That’s a good drop of builder’s, that is. Safe now.
I feel your pain. 6000 miles from the homeland and a day doesn’t go right without a cuppa Barry’s!
i live in india. tea is made in india. Assam is a place in india.
let me know which is ur fav brand and how u like it. it will be parceled to u.
how? dont worry…
anything to raise ur chin up !!!
Awww, Chins – that’s so sweet of you but the postage would cost you the earth.
I was going to send some Barry’s teabags to someone in America a couple of years ago but found that I was out of tea and so I….opened the unsent box and used them myself.
I’m not a good person.
“..after 3 cups my tongue starts to feel all furry..” Silly person! You don’t HAVE to drink 3 cups. Try drinking 2 instead. Problem solved!
It’s similar to the time I went to see the doc and I told him that every time I raised my right arm above my shoulder it hurt like blazes. He said “Well don’t do it then. Next!” Problem solved!
Sorry about the !!!’s, I just do it to annoy you! Pfffft!
postage.. naaah!! it costs me nothing.. it comes with privelage of working in international division of my company.
n i do have ur address from ur previous email, but then i will have to hunt it down. so can u pls email me again? so i can pack it soon. n yes.. do let me know the flavor and variant.
