Builder's Tea

This is just one, of a long list of stories, from my dearest Persian-bred, London-born friend, that never fails to entertain me.

She's currently working in TV, and she's in between contracts, so spends much of her time doing, well nothing. One day she's sitting at her computer and gets a call from her dear friend Kessie. The rest of the story will be in her words, relating the conversation, as I just can't tell it like she can:


'Sahar are you on the internet?'
I say, 'why yes I am'
She says, 'some guy at work asked me to make a builders tea, can you look it up for me?'

I didnt know what the hell she was on about so i googled it and told her I'll ring her back when I find out.
5 mintues later i ring her back and apparently there's an actual brand called 'Builder's Tea' (in a black and yellow box) so I said,

'Kessie, yr work place must have bought the tea brand, 'Builders tea' so find it and just make him that'
......then a long pause....
'Kessie? ..... Kessie? ..

Nothing.
Kessie? you there?

Then she finally speaks....'Oh woe, i couldn't wait for you to ring back so I had to take a guess and made him a herbal tea with 2 sugars..'
