Creativ-i-tea?
I found an article in today’s newspaper, “Want to get creative? Try a cup of tea.”
Peking University’s School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences conducted creativity tests, giving human guinea pigs either black tea or water to drink immediately beforehand.
It seems tea won hands down – both when it came to generating new ideas, and in general creativity.
Speaking as a tea jenny myself (Scottish glossary: a person who drinks a lot of tea), I was pleased to hear of this outcome. Based on my daily consumption, I reckon each Skelgill mystery takes me 1800 cups from start to finish.
1800 bags of my preferred brand cost about £100. Since there is now scientific proof that I NEED this to do my job, can I put tea on my tax return?
Or is that what’s known as creative accounting?
