But if Kraft had come to Norwich yesterday they could have saved £11.5 billion and had Cadbury's for the cost of a newspaper!
British chocolate manufacturer Cadbury's is to be taken over by USA food giant Kraft Foods.
Cadbury's, of course, is closely associated with canals. Its Bournville factory is beside the Worcester and Birmingham Canal, and the company had its own fleet of narrowboats. Chocolate crumb was made from cocoa, sugar and milk, and transported by canal from Knighton on the Staffordshire/Shropshire border to the company's factory at Bournville.
I took these photos in August 2008.

Yet another chink in the British armour and another multicultural string to the bow that is now abundantly and horribly manifesting its way across the globe.
Some things, like Cadbury's, needed to stay British.
Soulgirl, yes, you have to wonder how many British companies are left. For how much longer can this leaching go on?
