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 could drink beer from a mug - but usually drink it out of the bottle....

Thanks Norman, it ended up as a coffee!

LOTM why bother with the mug for drinking beer, surely builders just swig it from the can? Am I right Norman? Given the state of cleanliness of most site canteens and any mugs found in there you're a brave person who'll drink tea on site, unless it's your own mug. Before now DH has had to wash the mouldy residue out the bottom of a mug to make me a brew on the odd occasion I've visited him [vom] Apologies to those builders who run a 5 cleanliness rated canteen or even a 2-3 one but I've yet to come across one.

Nearly vodka o'clock here so I'll catch up with you all tomorrow :o

I normally swig my beer from the bottle NewStig. (Playmobil don't seem to do beer cans, just bottles).

By the way, am I allowed to ask what your previous name was? Or did you change it so that people wouldn't know who you were before?

I'm all confused-how are you logging on with 2 names?

LadyOfTheManor · 05/02/2011 17:45

I just name-changed back to my usual name temporarily, then back to Norman again! Grin

I'm glad you like the pics. My mates and I have been waterskiing this afternoon, and are having another BBQ this evening, at the campsite. We`are staying in the camper van (Myself, Brian, Michael and Cuthbert) and tent (Len and Ken). At the moment we are enjoying a cuppa in Bossy Ross's lifeboat cafe.

Cheers!

Lol, yes , Playmobil is German. In fact I am quite surprised I like tea as much as I do, seeing as they don't drink so much of it in Germany....

Bumping thread for anyone interested in a cuppa emoticon.....

Norman well as long as you are making it with lukewarm water and adding lemon but no milk [vom] then you're following the German tradition when they do drink it.
Thanks for yr msg :)
