Lovely customer but horrible tea!!!
« on: December 13, 2010, 05:18:47 pm »
Got this lovely old lady that always makes me a cuppa and gives me a biscuet. But the tea isn't really drinkable. Shame.
Anyone else dread being asked for a cuppa in fear of it being like dish water?

  I did a job for a mate who had broken his leg once, she made me a cup of tea and stood talking to me while I drank it, it was awful, think she made it with breast milk!

  I had to drink it as she was stood gassing the whole time.

Yes, I have one who puts so much milk in my coffee, and I only like it to taste of coffee really.

She's asked before and I've said "just a little bit of milk"... but I always get a cup of hot milk with a dash of coffee in. Yuk! ;D

I had one a couple years ago, the tea was reasonable, but the TWIX was dated 1997.

It went on the garage roof! :P

I have a little old lady who gives me a glass of mango juice and stands there and watches me drink it. Last time she gave me a large glass of neat squash  :-X
Struggled with that one.

If you fill a tea cup or glass with cold water there will invariably be a few bubbles floating on the surface. It’s due to detergent residue, even if the cup is from a dishwasher.

There are some real nasty immune supresents in those bubbles, like polychlorinated biphenyls for example, that builds up over time and are extremely differcult to detoxify.
 
Next time you have the opportunity check how many suds are left on the crockery after an old lady washes up.

No tea for me thanks Mrs Smith.

I wouldn`t fancy a hot drink made by Doctorwindows if he thinks the boiling point of water is 38 degrees.
