So why post the price of a pot of tea?


The price variations grabbed me. London, tea country, was in the high
range.

Frankfurt surprised me being low. Tokyo is known for being pricey.

When male Asian elephants enter their annual period of heightened sexual
activity and aggression, they broadcast their availability to the ladies by
pumping out a pungent mix of pheromones.

But older males have the upper hand on their younger, less experienced
competition, producing a more attractive mix of scents, a new study shows.

But effectively you're not paying for the tea, your paying for
the space in the resturant and the time of the person serving it.

London hotels are renown for charging high prices for these things

Let's see here. London hotels are expensive, as everyone knows. London's
'luxury hotels' charge a lot for a pot of tea. My god, call out the
cavalry!

Because the WSJ has more interesting articles. There was
a good 2 page article on staph infections. The tea thing
wqs a table, a filler, a piece of fluff. USA Today sometimes
has a good article but is mostly fluff.
