    I'm doing my best for you mate. I've eaten 4 Braeburns and a Cox's Orange Pippin this week.

    A BBC documentary that aired tonight. Personally I don't think most of the gadget mad, got to have, consumers will give two hoots about the people who make their iPhones.

    I can't see the BBC airing anything that would be detrimental to Apple, they manage to shoehorn one of their products into almost every show. It's only a matter of time before there's an iMac in the background of a period drama.

    But yeah, with the profit Apple makes on their phones in particular, they could have them manufactured in their own country where presumably there is some kind of half decent minimum wage and still make a fortune. It shows how cheap they are to Apple when you take a phone into the shop that has a software problem and they just give you a new one!

    It's not just Apple though, most electronic consumables manufactured in the far east are un-ethical.

    As for Apple manufacturing in their own country, America doesn't manufacture anything. It's all 'made in China' etc..

    It's not a new one, it's one that someone's taken back before, they put a new case on it, reset it, and give them back out to the next person that brings one in for a replacement.

    Looks like I've got the wrong end of the stick, so I've bought a couple of Beatles albums to put things right.

    Terri Coverley: [Talking about her role in the department in relation to policy] It's not my role to have a preference - I sell the apples. If you want me to sell the apples, I'll sell the apples. But if you want me to sell oranges, then I'll go and tell people that the apples, the apples are **** Olly, they're **** - I'll say go on, check out our oranges.

    Hugh Abbott: Do you have a pref- which do you prefer, you know, apples or oranges?

    Terri Coverley: [Exasperated] Apples!

    Hugh Abbott: Apples?

    Terri Coverley: Apples.

    Hugh Abbott: OK, thank you!

    Glenn Cullen: Hugh, if we are going to spend taxpayers money putting violent thugs into productions of the ****ing Cherry Orchard then we're gonna get crucified, and rightly so!

    Hugh Abbott: Hang on a second - Terri, which was apples, was Olly apples or was Glenn apples?

    [Terri has left her desk]

    Hugh Abbott: oh, she's gone.

    Can't see it having much effect on their turnover.
