The bottom is out of the Universe--so have some tea, 16:00
Had a terrible week (and it's not even over yet)? Is your New Year off to a lousy start? Worry not, friends, we've got you covered. Tea and biscuits will be served at 16:00, restaurant level of Center Building. You will still have problems, but hey, at least you can also have tea.
We had a kettle; we let it leak:
Our not repairing made it worse.
We haven't had any tea for a week...
The bottom is out of the Universe.
