    sorry to be *controversial* but dont you think thats a bit.. not in the spirit this freebie was intended? By that i mean ordering more than one for yourself.

    If you are handing them out to people to raise awareness, i take my comment back :o

    I know what I'm doing, freebies are freebies, if I don't get them somebody else will, they are all for me, I'm greedy.

    P.S. I've got about a years supply of Original Source shampoo, Shower Gel, Conditioner etc..etc. Also I've got 30 little freebie radios and boxes and boxes of various other freebies. So mate just what the hell has it got to do with you. 1a_y_grin.gif

    Now Now let's not get personal here, I think the point that cherw1981 was trying to make is that this particular freebie was intended to raise awareness about the terrible conditions and low pay many of the tea growers have to endure. The Fairtrade fortnight is a way of increasing awareness and enabling people to sample products that have been produced and paid for fairly in the hope that they may buy the products themselves in future. Of course it is your right like any of us to collect the freebies advertised, but in this particular case does it not !!!!!! your conscience at all that you may be taking away from someone who had a genuine interest in making life better for those who are not so fortunate as us in the UK?
    Don't jump on my head for this post, I am just trying to say that yeah it's ok to be greedy and the original source freebies that you claim you have received don't matter too much as they are only intended for individuals - however the fairtrade samples are meant for a greater cause not just for free tea and coffee but actually doing some good for those who are not as fortunate as us. Think about it?
