... this equipment is Tea-Total
Well...
Benedict vanished off to take his annual vacation and I was left on my tod. Decided to invest in one of that Smiv chap's tea-making new-fangled contraptions at the chandlery. Forked over the dosh, plugged it in, turned it on and it started whirring away. Nice bubbling sounds
etc,
etc,
etc. Unlike those blighters at Onrira*, his machine even managed to bung in the tea before adding the hot water.
But... Oh my giddy aunt!
No choice - absolutely
none at all. No choice if I wanted Lapsang Souchong, Tarry Souchong or even Imperial Souchong! Nor a choice between Souchong, Rose Pouchong, Keemun or Yunnan! Not even between English Earl Grey or Russian Earl Grey - or English Breakfast, Irish Breakfast
etc. No choice of sugars. No choice of guernsey milk, jersey milk, slice of sicilian lemon or anything else. Not even fragrant broken orange pekoe.
What on earth
is this ghastly contraption? Hermione would be horrified! No wonder Benedict did a runner. Tescoos at its bally worst - some unspeakable version of Poo Goo Tips - and I'm quite convinced it was not loose-leaf. Did they even wave a tea-leaf over the blasted factory, I ask myself.

And now you tell me that it will be following me around like an albatross. I
could ask Benedict to try and exorcise it - you know, the black candles and Chaldaean chant ceremony. Not sure it would work though...
What the dickens should I do?
