Woman On A Raft (who now blogs here), in a thread about patio heaters of a year-and-a-half ago:
I picked up a green living catalogue from outside Neal's Yard and it said that fire bowls, chimineas etc were all OK, and double OK if you bought them from ethical suppliers, preferably having been made by Mexicans/Indonesians whatever, from clay or recycled bottletops...
All this time, I had assumed she was being ironic.
Nope.

I had the pleasure to meet Mrs Raft for the first time last weekend while visiting The Democratic Republic of England. She's a treasure.
Very good writer Mrs Raft.
Always sharp.
I wrote, in an ironic way, some while back that if Local Authorities were so bloody worried about recycling why don't they just take all our rubbish in one bin and ship it off to the third world where poor people would be glad of the money to sort through it for reusable stuff..." Seems someone at The Eden Project was listening.
The Neal's Yard catalogue was real, too.
I follow Hunter Thompson's instruction that one need not bother making things up - reality contains plenty of unbelievable material which turns out to be true. The only unbelievable thing is how much of it there is.
Richard Littlejohn has built an entire career on this.
Thanks for the link.
Ethical suppliers? I wonder who ethical suppliers of hashish would be.
