#meta #tea: Remember, from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that machine that "invariably delivered a cupful of liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea"?

Only decades after reading that, in an office in another country, did I first meet an older British "tea" machine. It could, in theory, produce chocolate, coffee, or tea; but invariably delivered a cupful of brown liquid that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike any of them.

And I said, "Oh THAT'S what he meant."

Best part: I was wearing my Navy Dress whites at the time.

... yeah, it's the mains up here, too. <.<

Frens I have a question!

In the UK and Australia, the power coming into your home is referred to as the "mains."

Is there such a term in use here in the US? The best I can find is the "main power drop" but that turns up so many unrelated results.
