Keep an eye out for Fairtrade

Found this at sainsbury's Kings Heath.  Great range of Fairtrade sugars, very impressive.  and what's more, when I asked the assistant about them she was knowledgeable too.

Well done everyone at Sainsbury's

Fairtrade Coffee flying off the shelves

Yes, at this coop on dog pool lane, Kings Heath people can't keep their hands off the fairtrade coffee, so the management keep it alongside the fags, whiskey and Moshi Monster cards behind the counter.

'when we had it before [on the shelf] it used to go walkies', the helpful shop assistant explains.

fairtrade coffee and hand model are both available at a supermarket near you.
