splodgeyAl Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 The thrust of what they were saying is that Bournville would stay open.Yes, probably as a "visitor attraction" rather than it's "head office" functions - which are now moving to Switzerland, along with production moving to Poland. So what they said 10 months ago was basically untrue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emma royd Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 In the run up to this Easter egg period I ask SF users to boycott Cadbury. After the hostile American takeover, in which they promised that no-one would lose their jobs, they have closed the plant and moved it to Poland. Where did your car, washing machine, bike, television etc come from? Do you not buy foreign goods? Do you think we should boycott HSBC Bank or Ford Cars because they moved major centres out of the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaimani Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 people are too set in their ways to 'boycott' anything for any length of time. twinnings, asda, cadbury's etc just got to accept the axis of the world's tilting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craven Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 People always say that they will boycott something and they never do. I find sadness in the fact that there are a lot more wrong in this world and people still try to boycott the smallest thing like where a product you probably don't buy is made. Infact if you do choose to boycott anything then give that money to charity or members on here who do charity work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffystuff Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 In the run up to this Easter egg period I ask SF users to boycott Cadbury. After the hostile American takeover, in which they promised that no-one would lose their jobs, they have closed the plant and moved it to Poland. Cadbury had already started the process of closing the Somerdale factory long before Kraft came along with their false promises of keeping it open. As creme eggs are made in this country, boycotting them wouldnt really achieve much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 ive said it before and ill say it again, these days boycotts are impossible, theyre all interlinked somewhere down the line, to boycott em you need to go live in a hole in the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustin Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Don't worry, at the rate we're going, we'll be competitive against SE Asia and Eastern Europe in a few years But they will suffer from a labour shortage as all their workers are here!

anywebsite Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Hold on, they make Creme Eggs & Crunchies. Isn't there something less extreme we could do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the minimum wage the jobs lost in the UK will be far better paid than those gained in Poland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
