BBC News | The Economy | UK economy to grind to a halt
„Business: The EconomyUK economy to grind to a haltManufacturing hits 5-year lows as CBI warns of growth haltThe Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has predicted the UK economy will "grind to a halt" by mid-1999 and called for a quick cut in interest rates. In its latest monthly Industrial Trends survey showing manufacturing orders at a five-and-a-half-year low , the CBI downgraded its forecasts for overall economic growth but said it still expected a 'soft landing'. The CBI's chief economic adviser, Kate Barker, said: "We now expect economic growth over the next three quarters will almost grind to a halt, so we believe an early cut in interest rates is vital to prevent the economy slipping further than necessary." It would still be possible for the Government's inflation target to be met after an interest rate cut, Ms Barker added.“

„"Funnily enough, the British knew nothing about coffee. But, hey, instant coffee could be made within the commercial break However, tea could not, as you need five minutes to make a cup of leaf tea. Hence the introduction of teabags, which now like instant coffee could be made in the commercial break. But did we really need to have monkey [PG Tips] show us how to make a cup of tea," he says cheekily.“

„Fortune's overseas adventures included investigations into the commercial opportunities in growing tea. Commissioned by the British East India Company, he disguised himself as a Chinese peasant as he smuggled out cuttings of the tea plant Camellia sinensis from China into India. These cuttings enabled India and Ceylon to become established as major growers and exporters of tea.“

„A campaign to boost consumer understanding of fair trade could shortly be coming to a town centre near you. The British Association for Fair Trade Shops (BAFTS), which has 52 member stores throughout the country, is running the project with RISC, the Reading International Solidarity Centre. The emphasis will be on the people behind the products, enabling producers to tell their own stories through leaflets, posters, teaching materials and a website. Project co-ordinator Aileen Garden said: "The prominent location of many Fair Trade shops means they have an invaluable opportunity to act as an educational ‘shop window’ for the whole fair trade movement." To find out more or locate your nearest BAFTS shop, call 0191 386 7948.“
