I wondered if anyone would have any suggestions of organic / sustainable fabrics suppliers for a friend of ours who is setting up a small bedding design business? She says:-

?I have designed a range of 3 duvet covers in two sizes with matching pillows and European pillows and I am looking for a manufacturer that can produce these for me ideally using high quality organic materials (Egyptian cotton).

Colour is important in my designs so am looking for bright vibrant options, screen printing utilising water based dyes that comply with Oekotex Standard 100 and with all the most restrictive ecological standards.

Ideally I would like the manufacturer to be able to source the fabric (to my specification), print using my designs and produce the goods. I am uncertain as to whether this would be possible in the UK? My research to date hasn't been fruitful so am open to suggestions. With regard to quantity I would be looking at 20-40 pieces for each design to begin with (however this would depend on cost)?

      Half my family are medics, going back generations, and none of them would ever have gone, or would now go, on strike. I know times have changed, but my family knew what they were signing up for, and accepted the detriment to their families and the hours (which, in the junior years, were way longer when they are now)... because it was not only a vocation, but a stable career for life. And they felt a genuine duty of care to their patients, whom they often put before their own children.  I can only conclude that entry-level junior doctors are more entitled these days. Plus, it's insensitive to nurses, who really do deserve a lot more money and recognition.  There are issues other than pay, like the lack of available posts, and having to move around the country, but they can be improved without a strike.  I don't think the right people are being recruited into the profession anymore. We're all on lower wages and paying more tax than we were ten years ago, but many of us just have to suck it up, work our socks off and get on with it.

      Beglfire I start, I have a lot of respect for Doctors and owe my life to them after various mishaps over the years.  I am however getting a jaded view of them continuing to run the strike ballot next week in the middle of what is turning into a bad winter for the NHS. Of course they may vote to not strike, but personally feel it is irresponsible timing to consider it as hospitals are already struggling.  Today the BMA warned of scaremongering over the current flu outbreak (BBC News - BMA warns of flu 'scaremongering' ahead of doctor strikes - BBC News https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y22yzl6y6o) but just seeing how many people I know are going down with it, that feels like poor spin by the BMA. How do others feel ?

      We have also used Niko the plumber, he was great, fixed both of our leaking toilets and was also super helpful with advice about the shower leaking.
