SC - coffe and tea at events

[Charles McCathieNevile]

Not having coffee and tea when people wake up has caused me to be seen as 
a bit too hardline to qualify as sane. I have even tried providing beer 
as a morning beverage (something they still do in vietnam. Wonderful 
place), but have resorted in the end to  quietly mentioning that my 
wife's supply of coffee is probably in my chest, and there may well be 
some milk and sugar near it, and there is boiling water in the cauldron. 
If you put coffee grounds and hot water in a cup, stir it a couple of 
times, add whatever and stir agaain, most of it sinks. Just remember to 
avoid the mouthful at the bottom - it isn't like turkish coffee.

On the other hand, at conference one of our participants attempts to 
create a 16C coffe-house arrangement. Funny how many 10-12C normans have 
been known to turn up there under cover of darkness :)

to alienate my own wife)

Actually, if changes of this sort are introduced one by one at a 
succession of events it is amazing how quickly people can get used to 
doing stuff a bit better each time.
