Hmmm, speakeing of strong tea....
I went to live in the UK (Barrow-in-Furness), when I was 14. Anyway, when I
was 16, I volunteered in a local hospital. My job was to help out in the
kitchen where the day patients came in for OT.
One day, I decided to wash out the tea pot the ambulance crews used.
BIG BIG mistake.
Ok, I had already lived there 2 years and knew how to make a cup of tea
well, sort of. :) So here was this really and I mean *really* stained
white tea pot and I thought it needed a *really* good cleaning. The tea
these guys drank was the spoon standing up on it's own kind.
I was so proud of my effort. That tea pot was spotless. The person I
worked under looked at this nice clean pot and took off before any of the
guys came in that morning.
End result, I prayed I didn't need an ambulance for quite a while but, they
took it in good humour. My being canadian helped :)
