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,

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....

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.

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

Tikkabillajive · 04/02/2011 20:44

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

Tikkabillajive · 04/02/2011 20:45

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

LadyPumpington · 04/02/2011 20:46

No just teacup ok?

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)

I would like a tea/coffee cup, I think it might get a bit much if we had a teapot, tray etc!

Tikkabillajive · 04/02/2011 20:52

Yes you're all quite right. I am getting carried away. A cup it is then.

With steam rising from it?
