So where's the cup of tea emoticon then?

I see we have a new wine glass emoticon! Jolly good! But some of us would prefer a good old cup of tea.

Do you think you could cater for the likes of us too?

Lots of love,

I think a cup conveys the general meaning....

Speaking personally we make do with cups and a kettle in Playmoland, although a teapot wouldn't go amiss (I often get a slurp of tea made from SoMuch's teapot)

No just teacup ok?

Tikkabillajive · 04/02/2011 20:45

Not sure I could carry a teapot as well though...Aha! What about a tea tray?

Tikkabillajive · 04/02/2011 20:44

Well absolutely LadyPumpington, but surely one needs a pot, what?

Teacup of course how can you drink tea out of anything else?

Tikkabillajive · 04/02/2011 20:40

So this emoticon, is it a mug, a cup, a cup and saucer, a teapot, or what? I think we need to be clear on this and establish exactly what our demands are before we get too vocal.

Ah! Tikkabilla! Now she's a sensible person.

I think the march could just be ongoing really. So long as we have enough tea to drink....

Have you all set off on the march already?

Tikkabillajive · 04/02/2011 20:32

Hello, I am here to join! I am bemoaning the lack of cuppas, both virtual and literal Sad.

You advertised for tea lovers and got weirdos like Lissie. Be careful Norman.
