WITH a name like Leaf, you might have expected her to love tea. But no more. Lorraine Leaf has drunk her last cuppa.

Like the rest of us, Lorraine used to talk through her problems over a cup of tea.

Little did she know that the drink was the cause of her biggest problem - migraines. Since banishing the brutal brew from her day, the headaches have gone.

Now she relies on coffee as a pick-me-up. But she has no plans to celebrate with a name change. Somehow, Mrs Bean does not have the same cachet.
