There is a wonderful quote from either Denis Glover or ARD Fairburn, responding to a nasty cuppa at Mercer: "The squalid tea of Mercer is not strained." Who gets it? First correct answer makes a good cuppa. |

But yes, the family did possess one of those gadgets and they were nothing short of brilliant. Not sure I'd be lining up to purchase a new one at $236 including postage though. :) |
