I lament your loss. But have you accidentally revealed a rather clandestine modification of the spoon itself?

Not at all.

The bowl "mods" are the result of my making progress with a hot morning beverage and a bout of lift off overstir causing the spoon to collide with an unfortunately placed caddy of "Lively and refreshing" Waitrose Kenya leaf tea, then doing a full 360 into a KitchenAid Artisan kettle.

Harumph!

Then, 600000 litres of water stolen from charity wells in Africa is poured on to each spoon to ensure water resistance.

This is the reason that some call them "blood spoons." I certainly wouldn't want to stir in public with one.

People keep this in boxes, they cost £18,000 each. But I just bung it in the dishwasher just because I can.

Hardly making stirring available to the masses isn't it? Rather crass, if you ask me.

Is this not remarkably similar to the excuse, sorry... explanation, you gave at the 1995 Dumfries open? I didn't buy it then and I don't buy it now!

if they're targeting gravy spoons it can only be a matter of time before they cotton on to the value of teaspoon collections

most likely stolen to order

big gravy spoon collecting community in Eastern Europe

the small, dark, modified car is the giveaway

they use 3 tuned up old Dacia 1300s which are then loaded on to a bus on the motorway

On the subject of new teaspoons.....

I genuinely need to order a large number for our new office (200+) and I'm amazed at how expensive they are!
I was Google bashing earlier expecting to get a basic "contract" teaspoon for pennies.
Shirley there must be a factory in China churning them out at 10 pence/dozen?

Go forth oh great PH members, find me cheap spoons......

Please.

Carry on......

Good grief, man! How can you expect your workers to stir their tea with those things! Just imagine the splashing and chaos that'll be caused.
Have a word with yourself and get them something they don't have to be embarrassed to use with their Earl Grey.

Let the heathens have their cheap spoons!

I work with scoundrels who leave spoons like this...



They deserve the worst.

[Blib]

I assume that it's your Mr Grumpy mug? And rightly so, may I add. Disgraceful spoonage!

[Butter Face]

I wouldn't drink from a mug!


How very dare you!

[Hugo a Gogo]

It's a copy, one of my colleagues bought it in a 'spoon dealer' in Lithuania when he was 'hunting dragons'

[Hugo a Gogo]

I prefer to refer to an homage

[Poisson96]

People asking above about value, you're roughly right...but it isn't the value that keeps me to it. It gets regular use but is kept to a high standard being rather temperamental as you'd expect.

I can see why someone would rather baby it but it needs use to prevent degradation for its' primary use

Chasing dragons, perhaps.

Indeed, the right spoon appears to still have some of the brown liquor left over.

So many depths sunk to...

Poisson. First dibs on the Huss should you ever want to sell. £1500, cash, as-is - as long as you don't get it ruined restored...

Ask Blowtrent, or Radcliffe if he's back from the Limerick show. They will vouch for how serious I am.
