I'm still trying to decide whether or not the descaler was an improvement on the Gold Blend.
We had a kettle at my previous orkplace which always smelt and tasted of rancid TCP. It was a new kettle, and at first everybody said "oh, it's just the new plastic, it wears off after the first few uses", but after a month it was still so bad that I could tell from the smell as the coffee was brought to my desk (we took it in turns to do tea-rounds) if that kettle had been used. I think they threw it away in the end.
I have just eaten one of those Fruit Salad lollies; it didn't go too well with the half of Old Peculier I had for lunch, and I dread to think what effect it will have on the coffee I'm about to go and make.
