BTW i dont work there any more....but when i put my CV on the web, one of the senior managers was furious with me for wanting to leave..i didnt tell him about my "burned throat"..after all, i couldnt proove it.....and even if i had the coffee phorensically tested, then i guess they would have said it was accidental "spillage" of dishwasher crystals into it....(i am of course presuming that it was dishwasher crystals that they put in it).
..and in any case, can you imagine walking to the police station with a cup of coffee that you thinks got acid in it...they'd just say i switched it on the way. Whatever was in that coffee, burned the heck out of my throat, to the point that i was unable to sleep for the next three nights....and that was from a tiny sip of it.
I still remember the sight of that coffee before i sipped it, -it did have , with hindsight, a kind of "glassy" meniscus to it.
