How much tea and coffee do the Consular team drink?

[British Consular Team 202]

We've noticed that some of the people who read our info on Thai Visa Forum have an interest in the amount of tea and coffee the team consumes so we thought we would share some figures. Based on stats up to last week we drink on average about 0.8 of a cuppa a day per person in the team. About 10% of that is tea (PG Tips mainly), the rest coffee.  Lunch breaks are the most popular time to put the kettle on. Biscuits are rare.

Haha, I like this.

 

Good to see you guys are human and with a sense of humour!

 

But only 0.8 cups of tea per day?! You mustn’t employ many northerners.

That's an average figure, remember. The northerners in the team weigh heavily in the stats...

0.8 cups per day, come on who you trying to fool?

So if you are not drinking at least 1 cup tea/ coffee per day, what else you drinking? Lao kao may be.

Hmmm, Brit here.

 

When not working from home I get to the office at about 6.30AM, by 8AM I am making my second 1.5L pot of tea (I don't count the actual mugs of tea). I consume a lot of the stuff throughout the day, I can measure my productivity (and associated stress level) by the number of used bags when I finish.

 

I prefer the Dilmah brand of Ceylon tea, black with no sugar, it's not cheap mind.

 

AND the office supply snacks (not necessarily biccies).

 

WFH is even worse as Madam makes the tea so I don't have to do it myself.

If you ever visit the ThaiVisa bunker you can grab a few handfuls from the snack bar. We have everything from custard creams to waggon wheels, Jammie dodgers, Cadbury dairy milk fingers, Battenburg cake. All sorts really.

Is there a counter on the teapot .? 

And no mention of curled or raised little fingers when raising the cup from one's saucer ..

I usually get 2,000 PG or Tetley when family visit, sadly supplies have dried up due to the spikey footballs.

 

Dilmah is better than the alternative, Yellow Label which is the tea equivalent of Budweiser.

I believe it should be raised, as keeping it curled may infer a crippled little finger which is awkward.

My information from the police is that they are involved in gang stalking.
