Do Not Throw Tea Overboard at Teatime, 16:00
We do not suggest you throw your tea into the East China Sea. Instead, drink it and have some cookies. The Boston Tea Party, as described by Mr. Dawes Jr. in Mary Poppins (1964):
Mr. Dawes Jr: In seventeen hundred & seventy three, An official of this bank unwisely loaned a large sum of money to finance a shipment of tea to the American Colonies... Do you know what happened?
George W. Banks: Yes sir, yes I think I do. As the ship lay in Boston harbor, a party of colonists, dressed as Red Indians, boarded the vessel, behaved rudely, and threw all the tea overboard. This made the tea unsuitable for drinking — even for Americans!
Join us for teatime at 16:00, Thursday, Restaurant Level of Center Building. Please bring your own tea-holding vessel.
