I propose to show you my cup of tea and tell you how old it is

It must be at least one year old because we moved in at least a year ago

In fact we moved in at least three months more than a year ago

So my cup of tea must be at least fifteen months old

But I think I started keeping it at least three months before we moved

So it must be at least eighteen months old

But before I started making a point of keeping it, it was just lying around for a while

I'd say it had about three weeks worth of mould on it before I started keeping it

So it must be at least eighteen months and three weeks old

I'd say the point that I started keeping it would have been when I put cling film over it and moved it off the table

But maybe we'd already started keeping it before then

I think it probably takes about thirty minutes for a cup of tea to go cold so it was still there after thirty minutes because no one drank it

It stayed there the whole day because no one cleared it up

And the next day was the same, and the next

And after that no one made the decision to clear it away until I decided to start keeping it
