    I suspect that 1998 may be the correct answer.

    Question asks "When did The Co-operative bring Fairtrade in to the mainstream?"

    from HERE and HERE :-

    "We've been supporting Fairtrade since the inception of the 'Fairtrade mark' back in 1994. And in 1998 we launched our own long-term plan to 'mainstream' Fairtrade."

    I did the same and put 1998, yet when I clicked back and changed it to 1994 it seems to accept the entry.

    Thank you for entering.
    The correct answer is 1994.
    We became the first major retailer to stock Caf! direct coffee in 1992, which became one of the first Fairtrade Marked products in 1994. This marked the beginning of our longstanding commitment to Fairtrade and thus Fairtrade became mainstream in the UK for the first time.

    Good luck!

    I've just tried entering again, with the correct answer this time, and it went through OK. Is it worth gavrc editing the original post so that it shows the correct answer?
