Just though she deserved her own thread seeing as everyone else who works at odsal seems to have one.

I understand that Leigh have been watching her as apparently her contract is up in the summer. Personally I think she will be snapped up by one of the SL teams currently having horrendous problems with the tea delivery mechanisms. Lets hop we can hang on to her as she is the standard we will require should we get to the middle 8's

I think the problem is that the club have insisted on utilising her out of position.

She's a natural tea lady, but for some reason Jimmy insists on getting her to make the sandwiches for the after match reception. Why does he keep insisting that he can make the staff to operate in the wrong position? Just sign a proper sandwich maker, Jimmy, you stubborn fool! You might have been a club legend, but you know nothing about catering...

Wouldn't be surprised to see her farmed out on dual-reg to Dewsbury later in the season.

And Danny Addy making the tea....

You don't even know her name, she can't be that good.

Latest tweet from the Bulls indicates that jimmy doesn't believe we need a natural sandwich maker

Doris is a qualified barista and has won awards. She can mix 48 different varieties of coffee, her speciality is an Austrian goat milk double-half-caf-half-decaf-soy milk cappuccino - extra hot - with a dash of Madagascar cinnamon. She can't really make tea, but is gamely playing out of position, and doesn't deserve the bagging

What tea-bagging is going on at the Bulls and who is tea-bagging who?

Jimmy could only spread to the left. He had to turn round to spread the other way.

Apparently Leeds have already signed her up for next season but have loaned her out to us for the rest of the season.

There is an unsubstantiated claim from a Mr D.B. of Leigh that we are trying to steel their teamaker. this is on the back of her handing in her 4 week notice.

Nah, she's on definitely on dual reg, and I have this from someone at the club who I can't name.

With them playing Friday nights it's a no-brainer, to be honest. The best bit is that, with her being from abroad, Leeds are saddled with her being on their overseas and non-fed trained register. I'm just hoping the coach recognises her worth to the club and she gets plenty of game time.

RH has just tweeted that upper management at the Bulls are now concerned that complaints about the temperature and strength of the tea could force her out of the club. They have stressed that any supporters that don't like their tea should at least wait until the have finished the whole drink before criticising and even better if they didn't complain at all or at least wait until they got home. They should then return the next week and have another cold, tepid cup of tea and not complain.

Jimmy has asked the Tealady to work in the bar, she is not happy as its not her normal position.

T&A 27/03/16
In her weekly column "View From The Tea Stall" she said that they had not stuck to the game plan. The Chef had told them how much tea and milk to use but when it came to the game they did not follow instructions. They either used too much milk or not enough. They started brightly enough in warming the pot first and then adding the tea and boiling water but towards the end of the event someone forgot to take out the bags and somebody else put in too much milk. They all agreed they knew what they had done wrong and were determined to do better. It is a huge disappointment to the whole staff who make tea full time they they are compared unfavourably to tea form a machine only used occasionally.

Brilliant thread, this one!

BREAKING NEWS!............After all of the criticism the club have just announced that we should not judge the tea at the beginning. We should wait till we are getting to the end - where the strength of the tea is really judged as it will be much better as it all comes together - especially as they are continuously on the lookout for a special ingredient to give it a more potent flavour. The problem is finding that special ingredient which the tea has clearly been lacking now for a couple of seasons.

Tealady has just confirmed she is out on loan to a lay-by tea van for the rest of the month due to overstaffing.

Tealady was told that her tea was not up to standard today, but she will be given another chance next week.

It's certainly brewing up on Bulls board.

It has been revealed today that the Team's lack of an upstanding performance can be laid at the feet of Doris the "Tea Lady" for using suspect ingredients. Due to a cost cutting drive in the non-playing staff Doris was asked to take over the tea making as well as her cleaning duties and to source and supply the raw materials needed on a very restricted budget. Quick thinking Doris contacted her weekday employers H.M.P. Leeds and was able to purchase at half price some slightly out of date stock (Best before 1960) special bromide blend.

Tealady being blamed by Lowes on Radio Leeds, only brought Earl Gray and lemons, no sign of sugar or milk. Huge impact on players not following game plan, Jimmy was over heard offering her out in the tunnel

I hope he didn't call her a bag.

Date in Manningham

Poor woman's psychology of good tea making now in doubt....apparently the tea lady is not mentally strong enough to ask pertinent questions such as "milk or sugar" ?
Senior management decide best course of action is to send her on training course "Self Belief for Catering" at the renowned tea wagon in B and Q car park up the M606

The tealady is 110% behind Lowes, despite constantly cocking up and making wallpaper paste instead of tea, contrary to his instructions.
