Calibrating the tea leaves in Gourrock

We went to Gourrock on the Clyde to see their Bonaparte's Gull, over from America. We enjoyed a trip to the coffee shop whilst waiting for it to appear. The tea timer was a novelty. It's been calibrated and the scale divisions look even - which assumes a constant rate of tea leaf ascent. But the slightly imprecise labeling of the scale made me smile.
