Had a hard day? Want to sit and relax and enjoy a good cuppa and maybe a scone or two fresh from the oven?



Please pop in and say Hello, the kettle's always on.

Dear Miss Miggins,

If someone spills hot tea in my lap and I suspect that this was an intentional act of savagery is it permissable to commence beating on the offender using several score of sugar cubes wrapped in a sock, bonnet, or suitably sized handkerchief? One of my dearest friends advised me that under certain circumstances this is acceptable behavior especially if the tea pourer is a well known evildoer.

Thank you in advance,

If I'm not mistaken that sounds very much like a dance the local morrismen do every year round the Maypole. It's quite entertaining.

But we have very few evildoers who drink tea, after all it's a very civilised pastime. Anyone for a digestive?

I would love to partake in a digestive Mrs Miggins. My constitution does not allow me to skip and jangle as morrisman would, and unfortunately I do not posses a clean hankie. Are they chocolate digestives?

Just right for dunking.

Dear Miss Miggins,

Thank you for your assurances that one need not fear miscreants and evildoers. As a result of your comforting and assuaging words I would very much hope to attend your formal teas. For those engagements requiring written invitations to selected guests might I humbly suggest the following stationery for the affairs?

Yours respectfully,
Sir Robert

Dear Mrs Miggins

In your Olde Tea Rooms, will you please cater for those of us, refined gentlemen of no means, with a selection of cake delicacies as well as a variety of dunking, and other, biscuits?

Looking forwards to your voluptuous reply.

Yours sincerely

Are there discretionary rooms tucked away into corners where I might bring a, ummmm, a discretionary friend for a quiet discreet tate-a-tate?

I heard those are very old coin operated rooms. The door locks take shillings. Do you have any shillings?

My Dear Mrs Miggins, I am indeed most pleased and gratified to learn of your recent addition to our towns retail establishments. Since the demise of the Pie Shoppe, there has been a sad lack of such facilities for those of a discerning nature, such as myself, to avail themselves of.

At present I am returning from the port of Southampton, where the message reached me by the semaphore telegraph service. Upon my return I shall immediately repair to your premises to renew our acquaintance.

Yours Ever

Sydney

Why dear people.

If assignations are part of the retail service, then the Olde Tea Rooms will become a successful business.

Looking forwards to secrete assignations of the gentle kind!

There'll be no hanky panky anywhere on my premises thank you. I still have some dignity left. Why not sit down, rest your laurels and imbibe a decent cup of tea.

Fresh out of the oven.

And the pot.

Dear Mrs Miggins

I apologise if I have offended you at my innuendos, but some rumours were flying around.

I would love to order a pot of tea and a plate of freshly buttered scones, straight from the oven.

I see you have cakes displayed under glass over on yonder table.

May I have a selection for my delightful companions?

Is a tea room the same as a cottage...
