That's the sort of thing I had in mind. I don't know whether similar firms
still exist in the UK that I so admired. I was struck one time when a
colleague queried whether he could repeat an order for a tea mixture from
an old UK source -- after a period of some twenty years since his last
order -- and they replied that they had his former order and payment
choices on file, and the order was on its way.
