The RFL have just announced that the tea lady will be allowed to continue her association with the new Bradford club but in line with the other punishments handed out all cups of tea dispensed in future will contain 70% fewer tea leaves and you must provide your own cup and water. Milk is still under negotiation.

I had the training, the skill and the natural aptitude for it. For instance I could put the kettle on, put the boiling water in the mug and then do something other than retire with the satisfaction of a job well done. I'd actually go back, put some milk in and then deliver it.

Not everyone on this thread has attained my skill level.

The tea lady resigned due to the terms of the contract offered conflicting with her political beliefs. She was offered shares and as a life long socialist declined as " all proper tea is theft"
Remember women are like tea bags you don't know how strong they are until you put them in hot water.

Whilst I will miss Mabel, the club's tea lady, I know she will regenerate in a different form some time in the near future to carry on the dedicated work of the head tea masher of Gallifrey
This will be her 17th regeneration since 1963 to my knowledge when she (?) has take on a different form and with the same name - Mabel.
In each of her differing forms she has always recognised me and deferentially called me Mr Bob. Whilst this is not my name I respect her attempt to be friendly.
She says she knows the name of every customer she has ever served. It certainly surprised me to learn just how many 000' of Mr Bobs are out there.
Here's hoping that the next regeneration is somewhat fairer of completion and without the running nose.

I've heard from KCNBABT (so it must be true) that the tealady has been treated really badly by management and we will all be shocked when it comes out

Tealady's son has signed for Castleford apparently, but she still gets to know everything
