# To answer your questions
1) Sometimes, if the tea levels run too low
2) I don't really know myself

# What sort?
Our sainsburys local has a great deal on cookies at the moment. They're 70p each, but £1 for 3 packs.

# You get fantastically hot and tea-y tea if you make it using the microwave
It results in tea that looks a bit weird when you put milk in, but really wakes you up.

# I also once made a chocolate-coffee mixture that tasted good.
It was cadburys instant with a bit of nescafe. I made it by accident first, as I was making some chocolate and my mum put coffee in the cup =( I don't usually like coffee.

I emptied 30 teabags into the filter and switched it on.

There were many, many angry coffee drinkers.

# just reading this
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_trade_debate

I wasn't aware of the criticism - and it's certainly interesting.

# Read this:

It's fair - it discusses the positives as well as the negatives, unlike ranting Manleys.

Wikipedia isn't very good on subjects like this as most people are ignorant but enthusiastic on the subject.

# Basically, Fairtrade say:
Because other employers will be obliged to offer wages at or close to those being
offered by the Fair Trade organisation, the benefit is more widely spread than just
among those producer households which are employed by, or which supply, the
local Fair Trade organisation. Fair Trade, therefore, does not distort the market for
labour and so is not unfair to other workers who are not employed by Fair Trade
employers. On the contrary, it helps these employees as well.

But this is, in practise, bollocks. Fairtrade means that there is a higher wage paid to a small select group who then force prices up - in subsistance economies this change can mean the deaths of many workers.

In Africa I saw huge problems associated with American forces paying western wages. We paid our locally sourced labour arounf £1.50 a week. This was a good wage and many wanted the work.

The Americans paid western wages.

Can you imagine what would happen if, for example, a security company in Basingstoke started offering 150 jobs paying £3million a year, without other companies following suit.

The workers who get roles within fairtrade farms are far outweighed by those who do not, thus the economy does not force a rise in the wages of others. In fact, those who have not got a fairtrade status are selling less and so the fairtrade company grows at the expense of the others.

In the long term this will mean that, with the tiny amount given extra, comparatively, to workers, wages might double, but costs will double too, nobody will be richer and thousands starve to death along the way - it is like carbon offsetting, a tool to keep the middle classes happy and to rake in a huge profit from them which, in reality, does nothing positive and, in fact, costs hundreds of lives - much better to stop buying cut flowers from Africa than to go fairtrade - it's shit.

# We bought them at first because they were on offer.
Then we felt that it tasted better than PG anyway.

And PG disagrees with me.

# I am not surprised - I don't say that it is not such good stuff, merely that I boycott it.
The fair trade movement claims that the products it provides are sourced “justly” and that purchasing fair trade products brings economic benefits for the poor.

Whilst it is clear that fair trade might bring some benefits to particular groups, whether it brings significant net benefits to the poor in general is questionable. Moreover, the claim that fair trade transactions are more “just” cannot be substantiated.

Customers also might be surprised to learn that the majority of the Fairtrade Foundation’s income is spent on promoting its own brand.
