Two tasty beverages culled from BBC FiveLive's mid-day news today:
1. News story on rise coffee prices. But don't worry, we're told, on average the cost of the beans in a cup served up by coffee houses is...just five per cent of the price we pay!
Presumably we're paying 95 per cent for the froth.
2. News on a British Army officer serving in Basra who has been sent a year's supply of fine teas by Fortnum & Mason's after writing to complain that troops couldn't get a decent brew in Iraq. The soldier's name...? Captain Lipton.
Classic.
