Yes folks I'm back. I've had a short break thanks to Ellen Smith Coaches in Buxton ( they let me take my electric buggy) to Cornwall to visit the Eden Project. If anyone hasn't seen it I can recommend it very highly. I stayed in the Royal Duchy Hotel in Falmouth but never saw Charles. It must have been his week off. There was no extra charge for a single room as some places do. It was very posh and my room had a Gobbling teasmaid.

A Gobbling teasmaid? I don't think that sounds like a very respectable hotel to me. Are you sure you were in Falmouth and not by the docks in Plymouth?

The big design flaw with a teasmaid is where do you store your milk overnight?

UHT is so wrong...

Why do you need a teasmaid then?

Just fill up the Thermos with tea the night before and leave it at the bedside for the morning.

(a) The tea tastes a lot better freshly brewed
(b) There is a possible health risk in keeping warm milky drinks in a thermos for extended periods ( http://answers.yahoo.com...id=20071201041500AAWUP4P et al)
(c) I've never been woken up by a Thermos

This is where Dora wades in and says that she wakes up Gibson by whacking him over the heid with a Thermos.

Even so... I still can't work out where the milk was kept.

We need Mr Jackson to confirm the presence of a Thermos.

I wondered why everyone was commenting upon my teamaker in Cornwall, my Grandson hasn't stopped laughing. He told me to correct it to Goblin Teasmaid. I still don't get it.  Sorry.

Hello Mr Nce or Nice,

No, I'm not violent enough to thwack my dearest son over the bonce with a thermos however, I did throw a bucket of cold water over him one morning when I came down and found him slumped on the settee with a horrible and unimaginable mess on the carpet. That gave my son and heir a quick awakening from his drunken stupour - stupid boy!

I actually still have a Goblin Teasmaid and don't know what all the fuss is all about. It has served me well all these years and probably because........................... it wasn't made in C H I N A !

Mr Jackson, when you stop trying to run folk over on that silly electric pedalo of yours, perhaps you might like to come and partake of some tea and teacakes over at mine one day?????????????? Don't get any funny ideas? This is purely in the interest of our historical bearings. Dora
