Christy's - Fine Tea and Delicious Pastries

[Bretonia Police Authority]

Time passed, Grenville and Greene were disposed of and Chief Commissioner Palmer took control of the Bretonia Police Authority.

Normality did not return however and the BPA continued to lose members. Officers became more and more stressed with their ever increasing workloads and Christy’s Tea Shoppe became neglected by its once reliable clientele.

Christy, after discovering her establishment had severe water damage in the foundations, made the decision to move from her current spot, 5 kilometres North to The Hub. The building was in the process of a major revamp at the time and what better place to be situated then exactly fifteen metres away from the main elevators where Constables entered or left New Scotland Yard.

The bottom two floors housed a large courtyard which had numerous BPA sanctioned restaurants, superette’s and pubs available for easy access. This worked well for the Constabulatory and the store owners, and it worked well for Christy.

She sold her old premises (conveniently forgetting the damaged foundation blocks) and used the funds to create a new temple of relaxation in the East corner of the courtyard.
She picked a much more professional paint scheme, royal purple and white.

The interior she was particularly proud of, gone were the wobbly slat chairs and the front room booths that managed to simultaneously impale you on the switchboards and crush you against the tables; Replaced with comfortable cushioned seats and expensive (stable) benches bolted to the varnished floor.
The kitchen area was much more expansive and was filled with the best appliances Christy could purchase with her funds. Behind the counter was a curtain that covered the entrance into the back room. Closely modelled on the original niche, this secretive hideaway had a small fire place (often lit on colder days) and provided the perfect place for the senior officers in the BPA to relax.


Christy’s was back in business.
