splodgeyAl Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Thanks, I didn't check the spelling... First google hit: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/51089dec-eb6d-11df-b482-00144feab49a.html I saw it on that EU Gravy train program on Channel 4 the other day... For those that don't follow links. 400 jobs to go in North Shields and another 260 in Andover, Hampshire. Just so they can get cheap labour and a £10M grant from EU. They've even already got the current staff training their Polish replacements. I'm sure our "honourable" friend Lord Michael Jay of Ewelme is doing all he can to protect British jobs (or should that be his own ass (ets, obviously)?) http://markets.ft.com/tearsheets/directorsAndDealings.asp?s=uk:ABF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chimay Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Just seen that old Twinings tea advert. But also saw a report the other day that they are closing one of their two factories and moving abroad, leaving a town pretty devastated.... I'm not about to take part in a run on the bank, but I won't be buying their tea either! Has anybody ever started a SCAB list for businesses who sack British employees and move abroad? would be a very big list Avon moved their production to Poland a couple of years back. HP moved production to The Netherlands. I think that since the Yanks took over Cadburys they're moving or have moved some production out of the country. I no longer buy Cadburys or Terrys chocolates or HP sauce or Avon. Thankfully I already drink Yorkshire Tea and have actually converted several southerners to the brew of the gods.
