I believe Socrates did say something similar, and his experience with hemlock simply proved the wisdom of avoiding all these herbal ‘teas’ in favour of the real thing.

It is a shame that Slow London has apparently lapsed. I really enjoyed what they were doing with it. Mind, there is always a danger for all of us extolling the virtues of a slower life that geological epochs may pass between posts.
