This whole tea situation is remarkably similar to the 50p tax debate.
Because i might have to make tea for up to 8 people i never bother making tea because it's far too much effort. As such nobody really makes much tea and the tea economy dies.
This is the same situation to the 50p tax. Ambitious people can't be bothered to earn a lot of money because they're just give half of it away. As such the actual economy dies.Comment

8 whole people? I thought it must have been more like 20 from the fuss you were making. 8 barely even needs a tray.Originally posted by Robinho View PostThis whole tea situation is remarkably similar to the 50p tax debate.

20 people on one desk? I thought 8 was high, do you work in a Chinese sweat shop? No wonder you're such a ardent communist.Comment

I'm with Robinho 100% on this. I make my own tea, when I want it, how I like it, and without the drag of having to make it for other people. Except Claire, I used to make her tea very occasionally, but she was the exception. Oh and Tracy a couple of years ago.
I appreciate getting away from the desk the regularly as well, it's healthy. I'm not going to join any of those bizarre little tea groups.Comment

A long time ago at a ClientCo far, far away when I was coerced into the "tea round" culture, some wag gave me a Green Tea teabag along with the other standard orders.
He was not impressed when his beverage came back laced with day old milk.
One down, six to go...If you think my attitude stinks, you should smell my fingers.Comment
