Everything stops for tea
In case you take your teapeople for granted, Alan Johnson at BCA Group has a sobering story this week.
‘Until a couple of years ago we had a tea boy, aged in his late seventies, who had served as a merchant seaman in the Mediterranean during the Second World War. The tanker he was serving on was mined off Crete while taking drinking water to the allied invasion force for their cups of tea. The modern tea trolley does not run the risk of being blown up. Or does it?’
It might if the lavishly named Corcoran Smith gets there. ‘It’s only councils and the civil service that employ these people isn’t it?’ he says from experience. ‘The growling, angry “onion and corned beef sandwich with your cuppa” ladies would surely suit other jobs better, such as tech support, perhaps.’
Keep those pictures coming, public sector readers.
