Benefits of serving green tea to guests:
1. You look rich.
2. You save on milk.
3. They won't ask for more.
4. They won't come again.

Cookery Tip Number 5 - A new dish called Traffic lights for petrol heads can be easily knocked up, beans at the top of the plate, sweetcorn in the middle and peas at the bottom. For non motorheads, just mix them all up.

In his book "Lost Japan" Alex Kerr describes visiting a tea house in the traditional centre of Kyoto with a guide; when they served tea, the guide told him to drink up and leave, because the serving of tea in the old city of Kyoto was a signal that the evening was over.

My wife's paternal grandmother was very high up in Tea Ceremony circles and very wealthy, and taught Beautiful Wife the ceremony. She officiated at one I attended which would apparently normally cost a lot of money.

One thing I learned is that the more expensive the green tea, the more awful it tastes.

Years ago, there was a man who used to visit my grandparents most Sunday evenings. Nobody really liked him and he was well known for just going around neighbour's houses until someone made him tea and fed him.

My Granny always made him him tea and sandwiches. As he was leaving, he always said "you shouldn't have put yourself to all that trouble."

One evening, my Grandad said to him "no trouble, only expense!"

He never came back again!

One of my grandmother's cousins used to visit her and stay until late. When I was really young I asked him if his watch had stopped.

A friend of my Dad's told me about their unwelcome visitor who came regularly and stayed into the wee wee hours. He always came on a Raleigh roadster. One night Dad's friend loosened the stem bolt and the handlebars. When the guest was leaving, he fell off the bike going out the gate and never came back again.

We had a freind who regularly came and chatted to my parents long into the night, played chess against us kids but never knew when to leave!
