Paul Williamson from Deloitte »According to a radio phone-in I heard this morning, detectives make the best cup of tea. Apparently finding the perfect blend between tea, milk and sugar is a vital tool in coaxing a suspect into a confession and tea-making goes alongside clue-spotting as one of the key skills of the real life Dalziels (and Pascoes). But in other professions perhaps the importance of a hot milky brew is often overlooked. Take the example from Teesside we reported on this morning.
Up to 300 construction workers walked off site at Sabic after an alleged row over tea-making.
Staff downed tools after freezing conditions meant there was no water to boil a kettle. Perhaps this a lesson to bosses everywhere - never underestimate what a cuppa, or the lack of one, can do for staff morale.
