Not the right blend

Feb 12, 2003

DISTRICT councillor, Ian Galletley, wants his colleagues to wake up and smell the coffee. Teesdale Council’s new drinks vending machine – installed as a cost and labour saver in the council chamber – got the thumbs down from him last week.

He asked the scrutiny committee who was scrutinising the machine. “On social and environmental grounds, this coffee’s muck,” he said. Countered Coun John Hinchcliffe: “What the hell is he worrying about? He’s getting it for nowt.”
