Jammie Dodgers Saved!

Quote:

The firm that makes Jammie Dodgers and Wagon Wheels biscuits has been sold to a Canadian pension fund for £350m.

Burton's Biscuit Company will be owned from next month by Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, which owns Camelot, the operator of the UK's National Lottery.

I used to get big bags of broken biscuits from their onsite shop.... put on too much weight so had to stop!

My old man used to buy bags of broken biscuits years ago when he was a lad until on one occasion he discovered that the little black bits in them were mouse droppings. My God we used to laugh when he told us that story... :D

Yes I noticed that. Had my first one for about 35 years just a couple of weeks ago and found it to be a let down. Mind you I'm a lot bigger than I was even without all the wagon wheels... :)

Now they're owned by a pension fund I don't suppose some folks will want to eat them anyway... :D

Re: Jammie Dodgers Saved!

Just to clarify. I was talking about my wagon wheel.

Re: Jammie Dodgers Saved!
