Ben Harding	Hi Nicey. My question is: Where do all the teaspoons go? I used to bulk buy them and supply the whole workplace rather than waste 20 minutes looking for the last one. One year I supplied 6 dozen, all identifiable due to their shape. Within 6 months not a single one could be found. I have resorted to using knives, table spoons and even forks (as stirrers, they are pretty useless as measurers...) The thing is, despite all my worry, I don't even need a spoon! I take my tea without sugar. Living in Dover, only 22 miles from the Continent, I suspect the missing spoons are somehow being filched by mysterious foreign-types intent on bringing England to her knees by the destruction of our tea breaks. Only us sugar-frees will stand firm! Ben
	Nicey replies: Ben, Regard anybody who eats yogurt at lunch time with great suspicion.
Jason Baxter	Dear Nicey, I work in a Police Control room - tea is welcome sustenance throughout long shifts and we have all learnt everyone elses preferences for their tea, no matter how quirky (exactly how many types of milk are there now anyway?). But I digress - it seems to matter not how many tea spoons are supplied/brought in/"borrowed" from other departments kitchens, the poor person entrusted with the task of making the tea will have to spend at least 5 minutes hunting for a spoon. I have requested an investigation but the powers that be mutter about wasting police time! Regards, Jason Baxter
Nicky Bramley	A topic close to the cockles. At work our tea-making facilities have progressed past the plastic stirrer stage to the wooden stirrer. This is a flat stick about 5” long. It’s recyclable, but it gets put in the only bin around, which is the one with all the unrecyclable stuff in it. So thinking about it, it’s probably a regression in “green” terms, rather than a progression. And you can’t even measure out your sugar either, because a flat stick doesn’t scoop. It’s all very dispiriting. TGIF … Nicky
Muttoneer	Hello Nicey, I'm very much aware of the importance of suitable spoons. At my workplace I am the proud wielder of a small piece of Sheffield's finest known affectionately as the Spoon of Justice (TM). It's a bit tannin-stained, it's not imbued with any magical powers, nor will it banish demons (except the spoon-phobic ones) yet it is an utensil of which I am highly fond. It's strange to think that one can be fond of a teaspoon, yet it does play an important part in the most crucial ritual of anyone's day - making a cup of tea. Maybe that's looking too deeply into the subject... I'd better go for a lie down! Cheers and good health to you and the staff. M.
	Nicey replies: I always have a stick of justice for poking BBQs at NCOTAASD HQ, but I've never had a spoon of justice, I'm very envious.
Penelope Reid	Dear Nicey, I have a much treasured and loved teaspoon which came free (after collecting tokens) from Tetley many many moons ago. It is possibly the most aesthetically pleasing spoon that has ever been and ideal for using as a measuring device when baking, in addition to stirring lovely cups of tea. As a person who frequently moves home I have taken to carrying it in my handbag during moves! I plan to commission a full canteen of cutlery to accompany it when I become a squillionaire. Incidentally, as a six year old, I found a teaspoon on a beach in Rimmini, Italy. I still have it and it is my second favourite spoon because of the fond memories attached to it. Is this a worrying personality defect? Yours Lady Pen xxx
	Nicey replies: Now we know why some ladies require such big handbags. I think your holiday spoon sounds even more lovely than your Tetley spoon so you shall have a bucket and spade icon too.
