Jimmy has asked the Tealady to work in the bar, she is not happy as its not her normal position.

T&A 27/03/16
In her weekly column "View From The Tea Stall" she said that they had not stuck to the game plan. The Chef had told them how much tea and milk to use but when it came to the game they did not follow instructions. They either used too much milk or not enough. They started brightly enough in warming the pot first and then adding the tea and boiling water but towards the end of the event someone forgot to take out the bags and somebody else put in too much milk. They all agreed they knew what they had done wrong and were determined to do better. It is a huge disappointment to the whole staff who make tea full time they they are compared unfavourably to tea form a machine only used occasionally.

Brilliant thread, this one!

BREAKING NEWS!............After all of the criticism the club have just announced that we should not judge the tea at the beginning. We should wait till we are getting to the end - where the strength of the tea is really judged as it will be much better as it all comes together - especially as they are continuously on the lookout for a special ingredient to give it a more potent flavour. The problem is finding that special ingredient which the tea has clearly been lacking now for a couple of seasons.

Tealady has just confirmed she is out on loan to a lay-by tea van for the rest of the month due to overstaffing.

Tealady was told that her tea was not up to standard today, but she will be given another chance next week.

It's certainly brewing up on Bulls board.

It has been revealed today that the Team's lack of an upstanding performance can be laid at the feet of Doris the "Tea Lady" for using suspect ingredients. Due to a cost cutting drive in the non-playing staff Doris was asked to take over the tea making as well as her cleaning duties and to source and supply the raw materials needed on a very restricted budget. Quick thinking Doris contacted her weekday employers H.M.P. Leeds and was able to purchase at half price some slightly out of date stock (Best before 1960) special bromide blend.

Tealady being blamed by Lowes on Radio Leeds, only brought Earl Gray and lemons, no sign of sugar or milk. Huge impact on players not following game plan, Jimmy was over heard offering her out in the tunnel

I hope he didn't call her a bag.

Date in Manningham

Poor woman's psychology of good tea making now in doubt....apparently the tea lady is not mentally strong enough to ask pertinent questions such as "milk or sugar" ?
Senior management decide best course of action is to send her on training course "Self Belief for Catering" at the renowned tea wagon in B and Q car park up the M606
