I like a nice cup of Tea in the morning

Just to start the day you see

And at half-past eleven

Well my idea of Heaven

Is a nice cup of Tea.

I like a nice cup of Tea with my dinner,

And a nice cup of Tea with my tea,

And when it?s time for bed,

There?s a lot to be said,

For a nice cup of Tea!s

"A Nice Cup of Tea" from "Home & Beauty" Sung by Gracie Fields Rex 9114

Tea, tea and tea - coffee rarely. Yorkshire used to do a Kenyan (Sainsburys had it) but can't find it now, I like Birchalls and like a dabble with a black Lapsang and a milky Chai now and then but good strong builders is my pref.


Like loose tea in a pot when I can be arsed (usually only Sunday morn): cup & saucer instead of mug, tea cosy, strainer, all the trimmings.

I have coffee in the morning and at various points throughout the day (too much probably). That said I do like a nice cuppa and actually it's probably a better brew to have first thing. I may try changing my routine so as to start with a char.


Clipper Tea is my preferred brand.

3:00 p.m. rise


3:05 Chivas Regal with the morning papers, Dunhills


3:45 cocaine


3:50 another glass of Chivas, Dunhill


4:05 first cup of coffee, Dunhill


4:15 cocaine


4:16 orange juice, Dunhill


4:30 cocaine


4:54 cocaine


5:05 cocaine


5:11 coffee, Dunhills


5:30 more ice in the Chivas


5:45 cocaine, etc., etc.


6:00 grass to take the edge off the day


7:05 Woody Creek Tavern (or the East Dulwich Tavern) for lunch-Heineken, two margaritas, coleslaw, a taco salad, a double order of fried onion rings, carrot cake, ice cream, a bean fritter, Dunhills, another Heineken, cocaine, and for the ride home, a snow cone (a glass of shredded ice over which is poured three or four jig?gers of Chivas.)


9:00 starts snorting cocaine seriously


10:00 drops acid


11:00 Chartreuse, cocaine, grass


11:30 cocaine, etc, etc.


12:00 midnight, Hunter S. Thompson (or Steveo) is ready to write


12:05-6:00 a.m. Chartreuse, cocaine, grass, Chivas, coffee, Heineken, clove cigarettes, grapefruit, Dunhills, orange juice, gin, continuous pornographic movies.


6:00 the hot tub-champagne, Dove Bars, fettuccine Alfredo


8:00 Halcyon


8:20 sleep

I was ready to reach for the heroin after playing a mere snippet of Dulwich Fox's Gracie Fields cat scraping down a blackboard screechings. I'm sure there must have been many a British Tommy during the second world war who hurled himself into German gunfire after being subjected to her tuneless warblings. As Spike Milligan was to note in his memoir Mussolini: His Part in My Downfall, "she's as funny as a steam roller going over a baby."


Anyway, I'm more or less moribund before two large mugs of coffee with my cigarettes in the morning after rising from my pit. Tea is for the afternoon, preferably with a couple of Hobnobs.

    • Another glowing recommendation for Keith. We’re incredibly grateful to EDF for helping us find Keith - I had lots of other quotes from companies who were upselling the work we needed, whereas Keith was very friendly, honest, knowledgeable and competitively priced.  He was incredibly communicative through the whole job and carefully thought through his approach. He did lime mortar repointing along with some brick and masonry repairs, and did everything to a very high standard. We could absolutely trust his advice. He’s lovely to chat to and very respectful of neighbours, clearly communicating when there would be noise or mess. He organised the scaffolding company who were also excellent (Reliable Scaffolding). They worked around limited parking and were prompt to take down the scaffolding once the work was finished. The scaffolding was also much cheaper than other quotes.  Couldn’t recommend Keith enough, it’s a pleasure to have him working on the house and we already have him booked in to do another job for us. 
    • If you mean the joinery firm that made windows and doors, it closed down several years ago and a private house was built on the site.
    • I’ve been looking at their website from time to time over the last few years and I was sure that at least one loaf - the signature sourdough - is supplied by the BreadBread bakery who are at a lot of markets at weekends and who used to have a small cafe bakery shop in Brixton Market. I used to go there specifically to get their bread.   They are also affiliated with Franco Manca.  That was the first FM, co-founded by Bridget Hugo, who died last year. BreadBread also supplied the bread for the now closed Crooked Well pub restaurant (but now open under a different name - The Kerfield Arms)  in Grove Lane SE5.  Not sure where the pastries come from but it doesn’t seem possible to choose which ones to have delivered.  I do think they chop and change the suppliers from time to time.  I like the look of the (expensive) crullers they sometimes have plus granola, the savoury pastries and expensive bagels.  They frequently have special offers for a first delivery.  40% is the highest discount I’ve seen so far. I too would be worried about a fox being an opportunist.
    • Yes, they sound excellent.
