Having said that, the British Tea party is a bit of fun.

So, I am putting myself forward, virtually and with a grin, as Chesterfield candidate for the British Tea party….  As a party supporting the drinking of tea for any occasion I personally endorse The Northern Tea Company as a local business and of course I would enourage you all to try to drink fairly traded teas where you can and to insist on good quality tea in all your favourite cafes.

Some of the party members are currently debating the serious issue of which type of biscuit should be eaten with your tea and we haven’t started the first draft of the policy on proper dunking etiquette yet…

Off you go, drink tea all day and remember to go and vote.
