Reading the tea leaves



I nearly bought some INDIAN TEA.

But then I put on my spectacles and studied the small print on the back of the box.

In today's world the small print on the other side is where the real information is often hidden.

The miniscule is now essential reading.  

The small print said:  50% Asian tea and 50% African tea.

No mention of Indian tea.




Small print ps:


At JohnPilger.com there's a new item titled: Assange was set up . . . 

Have a cup of tea and listen to it. It's quite interesting.

  1. A dear friend brought back a packet of Glenloch tea leaves from London for me. I enjoy the simple flavour of it, the best tea I've had in years. I'm already concerned when I run out - I don't want to listen to them other cup of teas. :)

    1. Hello Maria, are you familiar with the PG Tips tea chimps TV commercials. They are from years ago, and quite funny. You can find them on you tube. I'm not sure they'll help your English but some of their jokes are priceless.

    __ And as I sip, some names seem, innocently, to converge: Adrian Lamo; Chelsea/Bradley Manning; Edward Snowden; Julian Assange.
    __ Internet Crossroads?

    1. 'Avez-vous un cuppa" might not be allowed today, Dave. You can't just do what you want any more. Times have changed since thee and I were knee-high to a grasshopper. In fact, there was even a big fuss the other day about an orangutang in a zoo smoking a cigarette. If ever I saw a contented animal it was that orangutang. At long bloody last something to relieve the boredom he was probably thinking as he took a drag to relieve the stress of being behind bars.
