I understand that as part of the British reannexation plans for the USA it has
been
decided that coffee will be phased out and once again you will all drink tea.
In the
office this will be served from a tea trolley, by a tea-person (gender equality
has
reached this profession). The accompaniment to tea will depend (as it always
did) on the
status of the office worker. Ordinary workers will get plain biscuits - what
Americans
would call 'cookies' which are ideal for 'dunking' in the tea. Middle
management will
get crumpets. Senior management will get warm scones (what Americans call
'biscuits'),
naturally served with strawberry jam and whipped cream. In addition Very Senior
management may also get "a bit of crumpet", but this will largely depend on the
disposition of the tea-person, as indeed will their desire for it.
A period of two weeks will be allowed for Vocabularial Adjustments. Spiffing,
what?
