The difference between Lib Dem and Labour conferences…
At Lib Dem conferences, the Independent sponsor the “Bag for Life,” made of a substance called joot which conference attendees are encouraged to use, well, for life.
At Labour conference, the Independent’s sponsored bag requests that you use it “for the duration of this conference”. Need I say more?
“Jute” surely?
The fibres are better known as “hessian”
Good spot (as they say) James
I think you’ll find it is “jute” – I remember that from my Geogarphy O’level. Jute was one of the products manufactured in the central Scottish belt.
The other one I remember is that there is a lot of sheep farming in the Camargue area in southern France.
Funny how these tit-bits stick with you for thirty years.
Surely we all know that Jo Grimond’s father made his money in jute? That’s how I remember the spelling, anyway.
