My subscription to them is already in question, this is the icing on the cake. (Can we day that? Is that a bit too bourgeoisie as well?!) They'll stop us having "black" tea next.

I would suggest you cancel that soon. I am fortunate enough to have the pre-release thanks to a contact at the printing firm who sends me the first proof versions for the test run; so I don't get all the pictures and adverts exactly as they will appear but the text is the same.

Might be worth listening in to Robert Dukes' next "Teaspoon Tales" podcast - did you know he now does them on Facebook Live so that he can contacted directly during the recording and answer your questions? I'm sure he will have plenty to say on this subject.

Wooden stirrer sticks a la Costa etc... that's what is used at a couple of the buildings I frequent

All that will happen if you do this is they will nick two of the wooded stirrers and use them as mini chopsticks to eat their sushi. Crafty bds these spoon thieves. Firing squads in the car park is the only language they understand.

What sort of Neanderthal doesn't have a set of chopsticks in their work cutlery armoire ?!? #baffled

Just acquired this New World oddity for my collection as I wanted to stir things up a little. Anybody here have experience with American Sterling?

Sir, that just made me spray my freshly stirred tea across the table. Good work.

The one (single) at the end is an exact replica of Hitler's dontchaknow.

I have completely lost the plot on this thread. Clearly a parrot is in order, but are you lot taking the piss, or serious.
Buy your bloody teaspoons on ebay. 316 stainless at £18 for 24, and very nice to (and made in the UK).

correct, but it's a deliberate error, depicting a left testicle, when as we know, Hitler's Mono-orchidism left him with only the right one

My source tells me it is the correct testicle but the image was flipped by the original engravers. A hell of a mistake to make, they dropped a bk there!

What sort of common nonsense is this? A teaspoon is a piece of true craftsmans art hydrodynamically shaped to create the perfect stir in the cup! It is not just some mass produced white good to be purchased in bulk and not thought about again.


Apart from that one above, that's just pretentious crap.

My great-grandmother remembers previously seeing that exact skein of pubic hair, depicted on the shaft of your tool of colonial oppression, when an itinerant zoetrope salesman called at her parent's house circa-1910 and showed the family some samples of the moving images available to purchase.

She vividly recalls the salesman stating that, "The hairy skein was modelled on non-other than the great American author, Mark Twain. Mr Twain was prodigiously hirsute down below and, liked nothing more than to make a public display of his usually well-hidden coiffure to audiences of mostly young women".

OP, have you considered showing it to Bunny Campione? I would.

That's playing havoc with my eyes, I can't work out which way up the spoon is! Wonky eyes here obviously. Corking if somewhat quirky piece though.

Ah thank you, the more information I can gather the better. It's good to hear that such touching tales are still passed down the generations and aren't becoming lost in the sands of time.

Teaspoon CRC deadline is coming up in May. Just a reminder to start getting those forms in.
