ORIENT: New china cupboard

[Elizabeth Hooker]

Dear all,

As I mentioned today at the morning tea, the faculty is now the proud 
owner of a small collection of fine china, which can be used on those 
occasions when important guests (in short, those people we want to 
impress) come to visit us, or on special occasions. The collection 
includes six cake plates, 24 cups and sauces, and 24 small side plates. 
In addition to this, we also have tea spoons, dessert spoons, knives, 
and a good variety of glass tumblers. This collection is kept in a 
secure cupboard in the National Thai Studies Centre (E4.36 - the only 
room we could find) on the fourth floor. Should anyone wish to use our 
china, please contact your centre administrator.

For all other guests to the faculty, white mugs have been placed in the 
small cupboard in the staff common room, so that they are easy for all 
to access on short notice. It would be appreciated if these mugs would 
not 'walk' away from that cupboard, but that they would be washed and 
left to drain (or for the angels among you, dried and put away) after 
use, ready for the next person.

Thanks,
Elizabeth
