(If only for a Tea bag)?
I forget the name given to the Tea cannister with the wire handle? They might come in different pretty guises? A wild fireman could clear a mess room at Exmth jct (72A) with his wild gyrating arm action akin to a ships Semaphore signals years ago? I could never see the logic? Furiously spun from the shoulder and at high speed, the tea leaves defy gravity? It doesn’t mix or stew? The lid was too hot to drink from, And if left on the firebox shelf, then the regulator gland had best not be leaking bad! Our stomachs cant handle boiler de’ scaler! 40 mile he was hanging out his window watching sleepers fly by! And a trackside innocent Rabbit might well cop the last cup full with tealeaves and all! Much better a fine wine tasting rail tour with loads of Bulleids like Sir Keith Park, Frederick Pile, Manston 257, 92, SQ etc for the good stuff to settle nicely! (With a slice of cheese and a cream cracker)?? But its fine Wine or a nice Tea Bag and sod the tea leaves for this old fireman??
