not all is lost Bobbi, i know that doesn't help those in your locale.

It said it plans to invest £20.2m in York to "modernise and increase production of KitKat in the city where the brand was first created in 1935".

A further £9.2m will be invested in Halifax to "equip the factory to take on the largest portion of Fawdon's current production".

Sad that’s to thats to the decrement of another 600 jobs lost though Emmie

[Mamyalynne]

A massive blow for those currently employed at Fawdon, I don't know the area but I imagine other jobs will be hard to come by.

[Bobbisox1]

It’s in Newcastle Mamya

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry, yes - I meant I don't know what the job market is like there.

[Bobbisox1]

Not good I’m afraid

[emmie]

[gulliver1]

Wonder how many in the factory voted for Brexit.

[Bobbisox1]

Gully from today, in fact from now, I’m ignoring your silly games , hopefully others might follow but it’s up to them !

[Bobbisox1]

He plays people like a violin Tora ,well no way Jose, I find ignoring very easy now :0)

Gulli - stop the insults, it doesn't reflect well on you, even allowing for TTT getting under your skin.

[DTCwordfan]

The Government has responded by saying that they are looking at ways as to alleviate this export position or 'royal cock--up' coming out of Brexit - it was on R4 earlier....Let's not forget that Ursula van der Undress is looking to stir the pot too what with her puerile threats.

Nestle have been warning of the problems of Brexit for years, so it's hardly irrelevant. They say the move isn't linked to the EU vote on the trade deal; but if Brexit really made no difference, they could always stay here.

At least the chocolate should taste better made in Europe, unlike Cadbury's, which tastes worse since it became American.

[gulliver1]

Yes its a great pity jno ,I think a lot more job losses are on the horizon because of Brexit , not really their fault People voted blindly after believing what politicians said, but of course the politicians won't lose their jobs because of Brexit.

My printing company shut down long before Brexit and moved everything to Poland, Portugal and Russia and Cadburys which is just down the road from me moved to Poland, again, long before Brexit, I bet load of the ex employees voted leave.

I agree with jno about Cadbury's chocolate. It used to be the finest in the land, now I wouldn't touch it: I bought a tin of Roses at Xmas, ate two and gave the rest away to someone who is not fussy about taste.
