I took my car in for a service and caught a bus into Norwich while it was being done.
I went into Marks & Spencer’s cafe for a cup of tea and a toasted teacake. They no longer give you a saucer with your cup - the lady gave me a paper napkin on my tray and put the spoon on it. I don’t know if they are trying to create less washing up but it’s hardly saving the planet if you have extra paper napkins instead.
Oh this brought back memories. I used to love toasted teacakes when I lived in the UK, but we don't see them here in Australia. We do have raisin toast though, but it isn't quite the same.
@ludwigsdiana No I didn’t ask. It’s only I sat down and put the milk in my tea that I realised there was nowhere to put the dirty spoon.
This reminds me of my late father in law who always refused to have a saucer but insisted on having a teaspoon to stir his tea himself. He would then put the dirty spoon down on any available surface. He insisted that it saved washing up by not having a saucer but then somebody would need to go and wipe the surface he’d made a dirty mark on. Didn’t make sense to me.

Weird about the saucer.. ?
