„"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.“

Mustapha was cleaning a glass using a teacloth when the spy approached the counter."How may I help you sir?" Mustapha inquired"I'd like to order the Double espreso with steamed milk and chocolate sprinkles.""Grande or Regular?" asked the owner pointedly."Dammit - I always forget his part...er...um...Grande?""Close enough." shrugged Mustapha, "but you look quite odd in all the getup Si Bob, you should take notes from Guy how to dress up and be sneaky - he's terribly good at that sort of thing.""Here are you groceries Mr Kofi." said Bob reaching into the deep pockets of the trenchcoat and producing a bag of grapes and some fresh fruit."Most kind young man, I'd hurry up though if I were you, the others are already in the basement, I'll have the coffee sent down to you. Extra chocolate sprikles for you. I'll buzz you in - one second."Bob settled himself down at the table in the alcove Mustapha pressed on the secret pedal hidden under the counter and in the corner Bob was suddenly whiped round through the secret wall into the stairwell on the other side.He made his way down the steep flight into a long gloom, periodically off-set by single strip lighting that continued onto vanishing point.“

„And Irish-based software firm Baltimore Technologies, which in September regained a FTSE 100 place, saw revenue more than treble to £20.1m over the quarter. Stalwart challenger Associated British Foods, which owns Silver Spoon sugar, Kingsmill bread and Twinings tea and lost premier league status in September, saw sales rise only 2% Profits gap But ABF, which reported pre-tax profits of £247m for the year to the end of September, was the only one of the three firms to stay in the black. Baltimore's losses widened to £18m over the last quarter, and Bookham's to £6.3m. The results came on the day FTSE managers set 6 December as the date of the next review of its top 100 firms, with positions in the index going to firms with the highest market capitalisation.“

BBC NEWS | Business | New shares offer for ethical firm
„It is trying to raise £3.25m ($5m) by offering shares to the public in London but, as the company itself says, this is no ordinary issue of shares. Traidcraft intends to provide investors with financial returns. But it says the principal return for shareholders will be the knowledge that they are helping poor producers and their communities to fight poverty. Paying a dividend "We want people to invest, not because they think they're going to make a lot of money out of us but because of what we can do for the sake of poor people," says Traidcraft's chief executive Paul Chandler.“
