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. I know that beating egg whites poses no problem....I know from experience that a swift wrist action can make almost anything stand up stiffly. |

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, Robert.

Dear Miss Miggins, 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?

Dear Miss Miggins, 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? flaming balloons |

Dear Miss Miggins, 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 Founder of BOINC team Objectivists. Oh the humanity! Rational people crunching data! I did NOT authorize this belly writing! |

You call this "Ye Olde Tea Rooms"...How many rooms of tea do you have? 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 Ah, Muriel Miggins - will she ever be mine |

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! It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

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. I know that beating egg whites poses no problem....I know from experience that a swift wrist action can make almost anything stand up stiffly. |

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? It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |
