After relating to all of the fam about my office's ability to consume massive amounts of tea per day, I thought that the following email, addressed to the firm's London marketing department, would be a funny and apt addition to our little blog:
I have spoken to Alan Brock to try and find out what's happening with our tea machine. There is a replacement machine ready and waiting to be installed but there's a problem with the connection so we are waiting for the maintenance engineers to come and fix that before we get the replacement machine.
Unfortunately we're stuck with just the kettle - or a walk upstairs - for the time being.

Yeah...that's right, I work in England.
To further understand the crisis of this situation, please refer to the following description of the UK security levels:
The British are feeling the pinch in relation to recent bombings and have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved." Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies all but ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to a "Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was during The Great Fire of 1666.

Now I finally understand why the Brits got so angry by the Boston Tea Party. It's all coming full circle...Thanks, y'all! -Woody
I know...kinda makes me want to hide their tea stash, but then things could get ugly. They may be polite, but I bet they have so tricks up their Euro sleeves.
So you would think that I would be able to figure out how to edit comments, but as the Brits would say, "I can't be bothered." So the annoying typo in my last comment must be corrected by saying that "so" should read as "some."
