Storm in a teacup « Never Knowingly Underwhelmed
Barber-surrogate Jenny (Carey Mulligan) lives with her parents in old-fashioned, curtain-twitching suburban Twickenham, so when she meets metropolitan charmer David Goldman (Peter Sarsgaard with a passable English accent) and he whisks her off to London’s West End for cocktails and foreign films, she is besotted. Her parents – a scene-stealing Alfred Molina, and Cara Seymour – take more convincing, as does her starchy headmistress Emma Thompson.
Not exactly a controversial review. However, it led to a subsequent letter being published in the magazine – from a gentleman called Jay Rayner who I understandably assumed to be restaurant critic Jay Rayner, but wasn’t. (I asked Jay Rayner the restaurant critic and he said it wasn’t him.) Anyway, the other Jay Rayner challenged my knowledge of teabags, pulling me up in a moderately superior manner on my assertion that it’s unlikely someone would have dunked an individual teabag into a mug in 1961, when the film is specifically set. Here is the letter in full:
Storm in a tea cup Witney, Oxfordshire
Well, let me back my assertion up. According the the UK Tea Council website and its excellent history of the teabag , yes, teabags were introduced onto the market before the war in this country – having been “invented” in America in 1908, when samples of tea were sent out in small silken bags by merchant Thomas Sullivan (although infusers go back centuries) – but the British public didn’t take to them as readily as the Americans had. Even after the war, Brits remained skeptical and stuck to loose-leaf tea, infused in a teapot and poured through a strainer.
I grew up in the late 60s and early 70s and this is how I remember all is Olivia Williams’ kindly schoolteacher (she makes a mug for herself and one for Carey Mulligan’s heartbroken teen in her modest flat). She is not some early-adopting trendsetter or radical. Nor rich. And teabags seemed like a pretty fancy way of delivering tea, even in the 70s. They must have been more expensive per cup, as they were sold on convenience, not price.
This is why I am sticking to my anecdotal certainty that a schoolteacher would have possessed neither the money nor the adventurousness to buy individual teabags to dunk in mugs in 1961. Even in Twickenham.
