    Sickening that in this day and age, we still cannot make fairtrade a law.

    Starting with fairtrade for British producers, less food miles then.

    Yes, the Co-op ones are very good - and Fairtrade too (you can even claim your 99p back by sending in receipts if you want). That and my trusty string bag are always with me.

    We're ahead of the game in Manchester- people have been carrying round these reusable statement bags for years now in the form of pink "Unicorn groceries" or "8th Day shop" jute numbers!
