It is very interesting that Elmer Fudd refers (in his second paragraph) to "container of events". This had led me to one of two possible explanations for the time warp that I and several others have been experiencing.

I have over the rerent years arranged the importation of several decorative (but rigid and metallic:^xx( containers from Germany, Italy and Sweden, Holland, Iceland, Cuba,Venezuela and Brazil others. Originally they would have contained biscuits or gingerbread, tea or tobacco, and in some cases a bottle of alcoholic nature. A very rough calculation with my abacus, computers being too advanced on this topic, leads me to the conclusion that I have inadvertantly imported 50,000 cubic centimetres of foreign air, from an alternative time zone.:biggrin:

Two containers in particular give cause for concern. One from Aachen, that has a mechanical musical mechanism (plays "Silent Night" very melodically), this one has obviously carried the music with it over some distance, and may be upset that it no longer contains assorted gingerbread biscuits as well. It does, however, have lovely pictures of Aachener Dom and Karlsbrunnen.

The other one, which perhaps causes more concern, is from Boston, USA.
I hasten to add that I usually restrict my choice of containers to countries whose language is not English.:blush: As well as having detailed pictures of ocean-going steam propelled liners, this tin has a clock on the face of it:blush: and has obviously travelled across the Atlantic Ocean on more than one occasion. My mistake may have been in not putting a battery in this clock yet, and it is showing 1610 all the time. (Yes, a good time for tea). This tin would have originally contained c**fee, fresh ground.

I think I may therefore have inadvertantly created a time warp here in Worcestershire, and unfortunately do not know how to profundise it.
Perhaps the arrival of each new addition to my collection has exponentially increased the time warp factor, and as it gains strength it progresses over a greater factor of distance. Vectors obviously come into it somewhere. Does the solution lie in my visiting one of said countries - the further away the better - in order to subliminate the causality of this phenomientom?

I think I had better have a cup of tea now. I will cogitate about the second causation later, when I have analysed it further.

Great stuff!!!!

Sainsburys Assam for me or on special occasions the loose leaf assam a friend brought back from India.

I realise it's not classically approved but I usually make a cuppa with the teabag in the mug and put the milk in afterwards:blush:

ARRRG! Teabaggy things

*Approaches quietly in case of frightening anyone* :blush:

Oohh ... no one here:wacko:

I will wait until someone nice, friendly comes in and then join them. :smile:I wonder who will be the first friendly person to show up?:biggrin:;)

I'll put the kettle ready and unwrap the biskits. Brought some Chocolate digestives with me today.

They must all be hard at work and very busy.

Hi Speicher, no I wasn't whispering, I have been caught, trapped in a quantum bubble for the past few days, unable to get out. I was actually calling for help (and tea) but no-one could hear. Anyway, the bubble eventually burst and I am back here again.

Where is LotTP though? I'm gasping!
