Had a very strange experience at the Chamber of Commerce meeting last night, introducing the idea of working together on Fairtrade. Although I have been to Fairtrade demonstrations, and have been a long-term active campaigner, was cast in the role of a hypocrite. All life's experiences are useful though, and I will continue to support the brilliant businesses we have here in the town. Probably won't go to another Chamber meeting for a while though! Do the Chamber and the town council have some sort of history that I'm unaware of?
