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.

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...
