My company have backed up their ethical claim and suspended any advertising in the daily fail, as well as YouTube and the sun. Something to do with our adverts being seen next to the promotion of hate crimes and terrorism or something. We continue to sell them though, sorry delta I've been on a one man campaign for them to prove they really are ethical and ban certain products king size rizla being one of them as it only has one use. |

Had to happen that many forged 1 pound coins in circulation. Jayne the other half as a bank manager sees them all the time They estimate 45 to 50 million fakes are in circulation. So every time you go to Tesco's or Sainsbury's, Lidle or Aldi, or ASDA or Waitrose - they check the £50 note you hand over - so you should spend time carefully checking the change they give you to see if THAT contains fakes. Eh? |

What is unethical about selling them, even if they only have one use? Is it morally right to sell drug paraphernalia. Don't get me wrong it won't ever happen. My lot claim to be super ethical, they won't define what the mean it to be and never really seem to be convincing in their actions That said we do some amazing stuff all over the world promoting fair trade and supporting poor communities. |

I stayed on the commenweath of Dominica in the Caribbean for a while.. At the tme cigarette papers of any variety where illegal, you had to score your papers individually from dealers on street corners. It was the goverments way of trying to control grass smoking. Ironic as it was grown pretty much every where. If you stuck two or three papers together for any reason, the locals would look at you as if you where mad.

We stopped selling nuts and zoo, when it was in it's prime so not to offend people seeing their covers I have a great laugh with people buying them. "I know what your doing" |

Experts predict that there is something in the region of £433million in pound coins stashed away in piggy banks, down the back of sofas, in the ashtray of your car, or in the pocket of that pair of jeans you never wear. So much for giving to charities, eh? "Every time I clap my hands a child in Africa dies" - Bono Well, Bono, stop clapping then! Doh! |

I believe that the BoE has put a date on £1 coins being legal tender (15th October 2017), due to the amount of forgeries in circulation. Just had a quick grope of Mrs Google, and this was the first item I read from The Metro: How long are my old pound coins legal tender for? Don’t worry, your old pound coins don’t magically stop being money at the stroke of midnight tonight. There is a period of just over six months when the old round pound will still be accepted as legal tender alongside the new coin. And you will still be able to exchange them at the bank long after they stop being legal tender. Exactly this. That was my point. All legal U.K. Coins and notes continue to have their face value indefinitely. Obviously if you found a stash of old white fivers they'd probably have a value of greater than £5 each to a collector these days but you could simply exchange them for polymer notes if you wished. |

When I ask for a pack of Rizla in my local Tesco, the guy on the counter always asks "little ones or naughty ones?" |

Aren't 'Nuts' and 'Zoo' some sort of pathetic "lads' mags"? A bit like wanting a decent pint of beer and only having the guts to ask for a shandy?
I wonder if the bosses of your company invest their salaries/profits into "ethical" investments? (such as Chinese companies selling crap made by 7-year-olds in sweatshop conditions...)

Unfortunately alcohol is not an illegal substance is it? So your morals are based entirely on the law? Is there anything about cannabis that makes it immoral other than its illegal status? That isn't usually how people decide on whether something is immoral or not. Is adultery immoral? It is legal after all... |

No we invest heavily in fair trade schemes. We don't just help the farmers, we help the whole community by building roads, schools and hospitals. Infact we are the global leader of selling fair trade in convenience stores and administer charity projects all over the world. But we are self acclaimed ethical but none can tell me what that means as a society. Obviously not ethical enough to stop a rent boy loving drug fueled idiot to run our bank and nearly destroy the business. Off which I can proudly say we bailed ourselves out and were the only bank to do so, with the rest using public money to save themselves. |
