Contraband Coffee Cup Gone :0(

[joggerjayne]

At the Amex, we're not supposed to take alcohol into the seats.

So the accepted procedure, naturally, is to keep one of the Nescafé Gold coffee cups, and wash it. Then you can take it with you, buy the jolly little bottles of wine, and decant them into your Nescafé cup to drink during the match.

So I leave the flat for a very short time to go to the supermarket, and ...

Olive has thrown away my coffee cup.

I wonder if you can just buy cardboard Nescafé coffee cups?

JJ Can you buy those hard biscuit wafer type ice cream cones in Brighton ?
My suggestion is to suck the ice cream from the cone then use it to put your drink into then finally eat the cone, problem solved. ( failing that, bite the little end off the cone then use it as a funnel to pour the drink straight into you delicate little gobbins, then eat the cone)

Sounds like it could get a bit messy, WR.

However, you have earned a Best Answer, for creative thinking.

OK, JJ. These are books that my father used as a tool and die maker ages ago. I doubt if the business is still in existence. At one time, many years ago, Britain was renowned for its publishing and printing houses.

It sound quite ... "traditional"? ... stuey.

I expect its leaves will be changing colour about now.

The company not, by the look of it

It doesn't look very "New England" ... despite its name.

Thank you, jno. An interesting link to the company.
