	Hi,
		I have been asked where to find the music 'Everything 
Stops for Tea'.
	I suppose there must be a website with the tune listed.  For 
those who have never heard it, it is a bright sort of song in the Noel 
Coward mold from that sort of period but I couldn't quote a year.   I 
believe it is just as viable a tune as many 'Strathspeys' we have to 
dance to.
	I can't even remember many of the lines but one that sticks is

"With the bailiffs at the door
When the clock strikes four
Everything stops for tea"
