Indiana Jonny and the RSAMD cup of tea adventures

On the 27th of October two thousand and eight the RSAMD sent me on a mission to save the world from poverty and evil, an epic quest of betrayal and sacrifice.
this is not the same story. but a rather disappointing reflective journal on a cup of tea.

We left the academy at half past nine and walked down Renfield street our task was simple, enjoy a cup of tea in a Glasgow Cafe, not a mass market high street chain, and use Blogger to reflect on the experience.
If you are reading this, i have succeeded in my task. enjoy.

We found ourselves in  Miss Cranstons Cafe on Gordon Street. first impressions for me were that the cafe looked expensive and not my cup of tea (pun intended)
i wasnt wrong. i found the cafe overly posh and lifeless. the walls were white there were no pictures on the wall and the presentation was too perfect. the quality of the food and Beverages was perfect though, i enjoyed a lovely bacon roll and tattie scone and a cup of tea. everything was presented with appropriate silverware and condiments and was definitely made with the consumer in mind, the tea was wonderful and the bacon was ''just right''  and we definitely got what we paid for. a whopping £14.55 for four of us!
reflecting, the best part of the task was the company, which is what going to a cafe is all about.
