The tea lady, pushing the tea trolley, was an important part
of offices in the 60s and 70s; I am sure that they were there in the 50s too.
These wonderful people appeared at pre-ordained times and handed out tea to the
staff – of course, the more important you were, the sooner you got your drink
and the better was your cup and saucer. Huge teapots with tea leaves filled the
cups through strainers. I believe that they slowly vanished in the interests of
modernisation and cost cutting but, in my opinion, it was far cheaper to have
someone bring tea than to have people leaving their desks to go and get their
own. Bring back the tea lady!
Those of us who remember how things were 50 years or more ago should take the time to make their memories available to younger people. A world without the internet, without on screen games and where direct face to face conversation substituted for texts, emails and so called social media - was it better? Was it worse? Whichever, it was certainly different. PLEASE do add comments - thank you. Search this blog using the search box at the bottom or choose a topic from the labels on the right.
