Jack Dawe Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 A bloke in a carpet shop down St. Blazey "knew the tea lady at Bristol Rovers." So there we have it: the tea lady is central to success/failure at every club, and the old bints deserve both barrells and should take a long, hard look at herself in the mirror (once she's cleaned it) when recruitment is shambolic and we go on long, winless runs. Gerry Francis paid him "£10 a week more than I was getting at St. Blazey." Incidentally, Nige said he prefers cricket to football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Isewater Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Isn't the term ' tea lady ' a bit derogatory in this day and age ? Surely it should be beverage lady . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted June 3, 2018 Report Share Posted June 3, 2018 Can't believe you lot. We need to really modernise the term Tea Lady. It should be Unspecified Hot or Cold Beverage Person of Unnamed Gender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely we must ask said person to find out how they self-identify before making judgements like this. I`m de-platforming you and going to spend some time in my safe space now.

Whilst I admire your intentions @ZiderEyed, I feel that saying that someone might be “hot or cold” has certain implications that might be interpreted in the wrong way. PS - please can the football season start soon, then we can get back to the usual “Johnson out” / “Johnson is a genius” posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also had a clause in his contract that gave home a percentage of every transfer fee Rovers received. He was obviously a shrewd businessman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
