Should Cadburys remain British, does it matter?

What’s the news here? I’m struggling with the bump.

 

[hash tag]

Danny, Easter is not far away and for many people it is nothing to do with religion and all about chocolate eggs. So, just a quick reminder to people about the source of thier eggs.
In case they don't want to buy chocolate sourced via child labour and companies that don't give a toss about their work force there are plenty of alternatives available.

OK, Green & Blacks no good. I knew that, though. What’s new?

The Easter bump - adding to the list of no's; Green and Blacks (now Cadbury/Mondelez).

Thanks for the bump, and reminding me of a story that makes me sad.

Danny, sorry mate, it's not all about you, is it. Clearly someone didn't.

That’s fair enough. I was confused by the bump is all. Possibly a fresh thread would have been easier to grasp.

I am loath to start a new thread when a previous one will suffice and also, maybe save the need for going over old ground again or maybe showing off to Pickman's model (doubtful though).

Ach, I’m caught up now. Sometimes it just takes a while to get my head in gear.

Oh danny la rouge, talk to me, pm me, don't think too deeply, unless about ethics

dear Mr Pickman's model, did someone mention Easter eggs?
On my UK travels. I have found these chocolatiers who are outside that thar London (others exist, many more coming in to the shops these days)
At Devils Bridge Luxury Handmade Chocolates | Luxury Welsh Chocolatier | Sarah Bunton Chocolates | Welcome
a great and wide range of superb chocolate (staff are lovely).
And at Loughborough Chocolate Alchemy | Home
Superb chocolate but somewhat limited range.

Something I only found out this week, one of the original Cadbury family descendants has started his own high end chocolate business

Our Story – Love Cocoa

While we’re on the subject of chocolate...and posters who disappeared...what ever happened to the chap who was heavily promoting Brixton’s Chocolate Museum a few years ago? Did anyone ever visit?

I hadn't heard of it before. Just had a look at the website. They don't seem to be particularly fussed about diversity. Makes me think: nah; I can't be bothered with you, either. I mean, I wouldn't have been especially interested anyway, but that's really rubbish.

I'm in the market for some eggs, whose should I go for?

There are sooo many British chocolate places and many will make aggs. Not eggs I know but British, very local and a worthwhile charity?

Chocolate - ARTHOUSE Unlimited

CHOCOLATE BARS, CHOCOLATE BUTTONS AND POSTCARD CHOCOLATE Dazzling gold chocolate bars, postcard chocolate and colourful button bags feature the artists’ beautiful work. The chocolate is made with ethically sourced, sustainable cocoa and is part of the Cacao-Trace sourcing programme. This...

Meant to say that it's always the same with these multinationals for all their Ethical Trading Initiatives they all operate through local subsidiaries in faraway places and the local subsidiaries subcontract the work again so there is no possibility of bringing a halt to child labour or promoting safe ways of working.It will never change.

 

[hash tag]

It might never change and I never have to support it, especially after the way they sacked all their British employees without a word.

 

[blossie33]

Very sad - not at all in the spirit of the Quaker values of the original Cadbury family

after three months i gave up waiting for a response like this. you're more tenacious than i thought.

Still on the look out for new British chocolate ( and British produce gererally ) to try, especially with Easter coming up and I will need to get an egg or two delivered.
I have not tried chocolate from every British chocolatier but I am working on it. Simply search British Chocolatier and loads of
manufacturers will appear ..... Best of British-Made Chocolate Brands | Best UK Confectionery

Well ! I can heartily recommend Front Page - Popachoc but they are not cheap, superb quality though. I've invested in a Moser Roth egg from Aldi for Easter and damn the fact it's forrin

I will go to great lengths to avoid that old British brand that got bought out by an overseas company who shit all over the employees and trashed the chocolate.

£25 for an advent calendar in February?

I knew I'd moved into a posh neighbourhood when I went into the local co-op for the first time to see a young child wandering round with advent calendar.
"Mummy can I have this kitkat advent calendar?" (£3.50)
"Oh no darling get the Lindor one, the chocolate is so much nicer" (£9)

Quite right for wrong reasons - NEVER touch Nestles.
