    Worried now.

    Just went to make a pot of tea.

      The error message was really unhelpful, too - something vague about "tender over limit". If it had been one of the Saturday job types manning the decks they'd probably have got confused and made up some gubbins to explain it away; they've pulled that crap on me before and lost me points, or even discounts.

          I wouldn't worry. A while back I put sugar in the cafetière instead of the mug when making coffee. But it's hardly ever happened again

            That's odd - I wouldn't have thought a mug would fit in a cafetière!

                The squelch & wetness is a dead giveaway.
