Re: Ooh Aaaah Naughty Mama Sher

Sher/

Oh my.....wouldn't you have loved to have seen them. All the commotion

over a tea bag. Wonder if Sher's on a list to watch now. Funny that as

dangerous as it is for $40 they'll send it back to her. It is good to

know they are protecting you though.

We do forget sometimes how many insects and bacteria and othre things we

have here that your protected island of paradise has never seen and that

could cause havoc.

Now wondering how they will go about destroying the dangerous substance

as clearly they can't trash it or burn since it has such danger

associated with it.

Almost a bigger kick than if you'd actually gotten it. You got the

intent and we got to laugh.

Aaah I know it does seem SCILLY doesn't it BUT even a simple teabag might not be as innocent as it first appears.....it wasn't the TEA but the minute FRUIT pieces within that was the big No NO!

They sent me a brochure outlining prohibitions & it included a page on Cultural or Seasonal Events & International Mail. St Pat's day: pressies from Ireland with Shamrock plants/seeds, Valentine's Day: Fresh/Dried Flowers:,New year: ornaments made with straw/seeds/conifer sprigs, Chinese Moon Festival: mooncakes containing egg yolks or meat, Easter: hard Boiled eggs/painted eggshells/straw/hay, halloween: pumpkins/cornhusk dolls, Sukkot: etrog/branches of palm/myrtle/willow: Christmas: decorations containing pine cones/vine wreaths/spruce/hampers containing prohibited food (egg, meat, dairy) etc ETC ETC

You see we are very isolated from the rest of you lot with all your bugs n' beetles, virus' & cikey knows wot else that might get into our crops, waterways, air currents.

Occasionally we manage to stuff things up nicely all by ourselves & DELIBERATELY introduce pests like Cane Toads that were meant to be a biological control for some blinkin' weevil in our Sugar Cane Fields...well the Cane Toads are now responsible for wiping out huge numbers of our native animals.birds, snakes, other frogs...anything that eats them DIES from their poison. nice One Boys at CSIRO! (our official Govt Agricultural Science Labs)

So NO PRESSIES from OS is the easiest way ta go! Send me vast amouonts of money instead...HO HO HA HA!!!!!!

Rest assured I'll be sipping ma Tea as per usual 3 times a day...Lady Grey to give me a gentle start to the day (in bed with Classic FM Radio & the Daily Rag)...Irish Breakfast at Lunchtime ('cos it's got more KICK than English Breakfast Tea!)... & Earl Grey fro my afternoon Cuppa to get me over the HUMP to prepare Dinner!

Fresh Brewed Organic Local Coffee gets squeezed in mid-morning.....gotta support tha local growers AND it's a good roasty flavour!

That should catch some of the airy lot somewhere along the schedule...I ALWAYS think of you lot as I sip! TRUELY RUELY!

Cheers,

SGIO (Scilly in Oz for all the Newbies..BWBB or Princess Hee Hee Peggy will probably tell you scandalous things about me all in good time!)

PS can somebody enlighten me on Sukkot as a Festival or Seasonal Celebration..is it Jewish Z???????

Yes'm Mama...our Quarantine People are POLITE as well as Professional..what amazes me is HOW they worked out that the ordinary looking little envelope held such a dangerous substance. I wonder if it was a Sniffer Dog or an X-ray machine.

An Awful lot of trouble to go to, for 1 weeny little Tea Bag!
