    There is a joke to be made about a sandwich arranger but, well, you know how touchy some people can be

    Scones served with clotted cream & jam.

    Big question, cream or jam first?

    I love an afternoon tea. But will I love this? It depends on how much scorn is thrown at the idea ;)

    And it's cream first, anyone who disagrees is a savage

    Does the £25 include the £15 upgrade to a padded seat? £25 is a lot of money for some cake and sandwiches!

    Henry is confirmed non-savage. Actually after what he said about Yes he's still a savage, sozzles

    This has all the hallmarks of Belgian influence.

    When I had a quick trip around Standard' s gaff and went up to the main lounge, the staircase was lined with glass cases displaying champagne bottles. To my eyes this looked incongruous in this resolutely blue collar club and city, with the derelict steel mills lurking over the ground. But that's the Belgians for you, even the working classes eat and drink well.

    Fine. This isn't Belgium. Personally I think curry, or a roast, fits the brand well. Afternoon tea, that goes with cricket. And I don't think Prosecco goes with afternoon tea. And worst of all, putting it out on Twitter risks making the fans the laughing stock of their friends.

    But of course I don't have the extensive market research I am sure they have done, which will prove me wrong...

    So is Big Bob going to be made to don a pinny whilst he serves the prawn sarnies?
    A la Mrs Overall.
    My word.
    What a debacle.

    Charlton Park Cafe does an excellent afternoon tea. So good in fact that I've never made it as far as Charlton House and its own afternoon teas. What are they like?

    Scone as in cone and throne and tone

    Cream first as it's acting like the butter. If you had butter and jam on a scone you wouldn't put jam then butter would you?

    At last the club is using Tony Cojones properly. He might even have sussed the difference between cheese and vegetarian cheese by now, because nobody can deny he has extensive experience in sandwich making.

    At £25 a pop I would suggest another word for this laughable effort ........... GREED

    Afternoon tea is a growth industry, the British Museum one is nice, but making a decent cup of tea remains an art very few can master, and I don't expect Charlton Athletic can manage it, after all they serve UHT long life milk on the concourses.

    I am tempted to sign up for this and would then demand my money back if it isn't perfect in every way, please devil on my shoulder, don't tempt me.

    The unnecessary capitalisation of words after commas offends me as much as the event itself.

    Small P for Prosecco - capital A for "assorted". Yikes!

    It is impossible to see any club menus anyway. They advertised a Lasagna event recently, but there was no way of finding out the vegetarian alternative if there was one. This talks of an assortment of sandwiches but no clue as to the content of those sandwiches.

    And the most depressing thing about it is that there will be some saddos who actually take them up on it.

    At that price I think it's an upgrade to a padded cell...
