"Tea" in Team

Today I met John. He's 85 and he had a latte. On his own. A few weeks ago he went to Majorca. Next week he's off to Salzburg and says he books up holidays well in advance to try to avoid the single person supplement. I like John. Another youngster came to learn the ropes today and was very impressive. She doesn't drink any hot drinks. Ever. Not even hot chocolate. Says she knows she should cos it's "grown up" to drink tea and coffee, but she just can't. How strange to wind up working in a tea rooms, serving tea, in a nation of tea drinkers to tea lovers when you can't stand the stuff. Oh, and she plays serious rugby, so I'm not about to tell her it's weird. And she'll be good in a Bank Holiday scrum.
