Not saying anything's amiss. Just seems a bit odd that it's being done by a firm with close family ties to a councillor.

I remember a while ago some bigwig banging on about HBC striving to be a Fair Trade council.

Are your biccies and brews still Fair Trade?

Handpicked, by smiling and happy piccanninies?

Savings could be made there.
Don't know about that. I've certainly not had biccies at any meeting while I've been a councillor although I did suggest some time ago that miniscule subs for tea and coffee wouldn't go amiss.

We have actually had a Fairtrade report not long ago and the council does qualify.
