    And workers doing hard manual work need to eat a decent meal especially as some of them don't eat lunch.

    I was actually thinking the plants might make a good christmas present for a green fingered relative, so don't judge too harshly. Tell you what, if you send me a sample i'll be happy to assess the quality and report to the assembled masses.

    I'm very pleased that someone is finally flying the flag for Scottish tea, it really is very commendable.

    Can you advise how much of your product, in grams, you recommend for a medium 4 cup pot.

    Thanks.

    Take a read of the future IR35 legislation and we might find middle ground.

    Otherwise, welcome.
    (PS. Make sure that you don't find yourself on Have I got News For You, I suspect that Paul Merton might have the same response as Barry...)
