Pottsy
Remember Pat, it's pot to kettle, not kettle to pot. Always ensure that the pot is thoroughly warmed. Loose leaf is preferred and this gives the best flavour as well as the opportunity to use your new silver plated, commemorative 'Wills and Kate'â, bijou tea strainerette, c/w its handle showing the beaming countenances of the fabby, wonderful, handsome couple and the Royalâ coat of arms.
Only the best china, please.
Remember too, when creating the essential cucumber sandwiches, that only butter suffices, new thin sliced white bread and chilled 'cumbers peeled and sliced as to be almost transparent. No more than one layer and crusts cut off with the resultant clean assembly dissected diagonally into quarters, to create the ideal repast.
Serve on a chilled porcelain plate, c/w commemorative 'Wills and Kate'â mugshots err... likenesses. Then underpin the presentation with your never-to-be-forgotten commemorative 'Wills and Kate'â doilies.
N.B. - A small brochette of freshly picked water-cress may be allowed to stray onto the corner of the plate. For purely decorative detail, of course. Freshly laundered white cotton gloves are mandatory.
Marmite, with its 'like-it-or-loathe-it' taste, is best spread on new warm toast, freshly buttered and with slices cut into strips about 4"x1" - aka 'soldiers'. Apply sparingly.
Finally, if the lousy Brit weather doesn't do the expected business, I shall be on the grassy knoll with my trusty Mannlicher-Schoenauer (you know, the one that grand-daddy Algenon ffitch-Cholmondeley bagged his first snow leopard with, from all of 650 meters in '32), looking out for 'Wills and Kate'â.
