Geoff:
Ginger actually gave us the correct lead in message 109441. It's in 
COS.

En route to the Burrow in the Ford Anglia after rescuing Harry, Ron 
is speaking about Arthur's work....

"The teapot went beserk and squirted boiling tea all over the place 
and one man ended up in hospital with the sugar tongs clamped to his 
nose. Dad was going frantic, it's only him and an old warlock called 
Perkins in the office and they had to do Memory Charms and all sorts 
to cover up...."
