Extrodinary stuff in The Times. Journalist John-Paul Flintoff (presumably no relation of the cricketer?) claims that he nearly brought a premature end to his marriage by poisoning his wife with herbal tea!
The said lady, Harriet, nearly met her maker by drinking too much comfrey tea which contains traces of pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
We at officecuppa aren’t surprised – we’ve always been pretty suspicious of that new fangled ‘erbal stuff and should stick to a good brown cup o’ char.
