I have some sad news for the world of tea. Apparently the Bramah Tea and Coffee Museum in Southwark has closed down after Edward Bramah passed away earlier this year :sad:.

He had many fine teapots and was completely eccentric. I wonder what happened to the collection...

The Castle Museum in Norwich has the Twinings Collection of over 2000 teapots

An old friend of mine, when he was about 3 years old got seperated from his Mum but was found outside a branch of John Lewis pointing at an enormous window display of tea pots and shouting gleefully, 'Deebod! Deebod! Deebod! Deebod! Deebod! Deebod! Deebod! Deebod! Deebod! Deebod! Deebod!' :sad:

That's wonderful, thank you. :biggrin:

I have always been fond of the expression "As useful as a chocolate Teapot" and for many years I have been looking for one. No success at Cadbury world, and no success until recently on Ebay. Last week I was in Bowness on Windermere, and found a tea pot with a box of chocs as the decorative bit on the top. But it was 40 Earth Pounds. :ohmy:

Earlier this week by chance on ebay I saw a Kitkat tea pot. :biggrin: This is made in normal teapotty china material, and has Kitkat on the side. :rolleyes:
I bid and was successful at 3 earth pounds, and it is brand new and unused. In the process of this search I found lots of elephants tea pots, and cat teapot, so I decided to do a search in date order and then came across the Lord Teapot. :smile:

Thank you so much for providing me with the scientific paper on the subject of chocolate teapots. :biggrin:

It looks good, but it's bloody massive!

It'll hold a month's worth of tea! ;)

2 SMIDSYs, all manner of antics and a puncture. Glad I'm back in one piece and it's supposed to be a cold one tonight. Tea! {_]?
