The Anonymous Widower

The Largest Tea Urn in the World

The One Show on BBC this evening told the sort of tale that I like.  It was of a man Ted Simmons, who after Coventry had been blitzed in the Second World War created an enormous kettle, so that people could have a hot drink.  The story of the recreation of the kettle is told here.

I sometimes wonder whether we could do such things today, as we often have this negative give-up attitudes to stiff challenges.  But as the Coventry Urn tale says, that if you have strong and good leadership, this will inspire others to get the job done in the best and quickest way possible.
