For me the amazing thing about this story is not that some chancer shipped in a load of tea from elsewhere and repackaged it as Scottish, but that he kept the scam going for a decade or more and was only found out when the local council checked to see if he had a food handling licence.

You almost have to admire the brass neck of the guy. I mean we've got a long way to go to match the vast crop of Yorkshire grown tea (Ho Ho).
