New Teaspoon Advice Please
Discussion
On a recent trip abroad - the Paliafilis Barn Find, which turned out to be most underwhelming - I could not help but notice that out continental friends are considerably more teaspoon aware than the British.
A simple illustration was the matching of sugar sachet to ones chosen spoon. A simple but effective habit that adds an intangible quality to ones beverage.
It was gratifying to see that each of my travelling spoon set was able to be matched.

Dear Mr Blib
Forgive my absence over the last few days. Busy, busy, busy.
May I just nudge you on Pantaloons?
My people have been trying to get your definitive opinion on maximum gusset volume.
An early reply would be appreciated.
Yours, etc.

Standard, 240 litre pantaloons, elasticated gusset, no more than 25.9cm fully extended, colour optional (No charcoal inserts, obviously).
Do you have a preference on return flanges? And, where would you like to be laid to rest after I utterly destroy you, you paltroon?
Have a nice day.

Ah, I prefer to speak softly and carry a big spoon Mr Blib.
Has the date been set yet?
I'm getting more than a little concerned about the fact that neither of the combatants has submitted their spoons tor the correct inspections to take place, these things take time you know, I can't have people flinging their spoons at me at the last minute expecting me to perform the necessary checks, alterations, balancing and buffing in a mere 24hrs, what sort of spectacle are you organising here?

Can I observe from the tree?
As if we don't have Health & Safety all over us as it is, you propose viewing from a tree. Oh, if you must I suppose. Risk Assessment on my desk by 2 o'clock sharp, please. That's tea time at the latest.
