If you can do this at the summit of Mont Blanc

then I can't see why you can't take tea up there - as long as one remembers to take one's gentleman's gentleman along to prepare and serve the Earl Grey, of course ;-)

In Fransh, sorry but 'inconscience' seems to mean neglect or stupidity

I am trying to find the report where the mayor of Quelquepart says, 'world record - he is trying to get the world record for stupidity...".
