Right - you provide the gin and I'll teach you how to souffl. Then we can eat them with all those teaspoons that I've nicked from off Tristar1999's tray when he wasn't looking!

Not on my last 6 domestic flights. The Napkin contained 2 Knife's, 1 Fork, 1 Desert Spoon and the usual salt and pepper, but no tea spoon. No doubt the e-mail is on it's way:
"Our customers on UK Domestic routes have told us that they prefer to stir their tea with the shaft of their fork" in the interests of decency I wont go any further with this one.

Better not leave it too long or the spoons will have been enhanced to those horrid plastic stirrers that are served at the local greasy spoon or motorway service stations.

Nothing wrong with a mug than a cup for a hot drink. They can usually hold more, keep the drink warmer for longer and much stronger so less prone to breakages. The only thing I don't like about the CE mugs as they have a print of the London skyline across them which makes them look cheap.

Well, Royal Doulton is Scandinavian now (or Nordic to be precise). The company was bought by Fiskars (you know the scissors with orange handles).

And for the record, I was one of those kids who "Dumped the tea," at the Boston Tea Party Ship and Museum. Possibly more than once. Maybe not a good forum to talk about this . . .

No Dearest - they were many things but they were never tacky - and being tacky didn't stop people squirreling them away. I just thought that they let everything get cold.
Uncle Dude -
Where on earth did you get that from? - this is not AA flying to Hawaii.
Uncle Dude -
Understand less than 20% of the occupants in CE actually Pay for Their own seat. The Bulk are Corporate, Awards or Upgraded Awards.
