Anders,

I e-mailed your lovely bride with my question, per Wilson's suggestion.


John,

I am glad you read it as well. And I must compliment you on your snarkiness, W-A-Y too many people take what you write W-A-Y too seriously.

In the 19th century the price for tea in England was the highest when the first ship with the newly harvested tea from the tightly controlled Chinese markets came in. So for the ship owners it was important to be as fast as possible back to England with the load, otherwise the cost of the passage might not be recovered from the sale of the tea. Thus there were real races (the tea clipper races) where the sail ships managed to travel the whole distance from China to England in about 80 to 90 days.

The difference in prices from the first load to the later ones was so high that the original price which was paid for the tea in China was quite unimportant. So the "price of tea in China" was something that really didn't matter for the ship owners. They had to have the tea in England as fast as possible.

Grant,

Thanks for the history lesson. I am sitting here laughing at this, but and I know...

What does this have to do with the 'price of tea in China?'

No don't ban Wilson, I've had some good talks with him.

But ban anybody with hints of the Nobility in their names.
