Yorkie

That's true that is. They used to be the size of real wagon wheels, you could use them to replace one if it got broken. Now, they're just biscuits. Haven't had one for ages.

Damn, guess what I want now!

Poundland are selling large packs of them for, er, a pound!

Probably made abroad now.

I wouldn't think that was the case. Do they still have that big billboard near the train station?

Not a massive fan of Nestle after they closed down the factory I used to work in, but it's hard to boycott them as they own so many brands these days and make a lot a supermarket own brand stuff too.

I don't remember seeing the billboard from the train since I moved here 8 years ago - I had seen it before that, visiting...

I'm not sure how much Nestle make in York any more, I thought I'd heard it was all moving, which is why I said it, but there is still the odd day when the city has a waft of chcolate over it. Not as good as before Terry's closed down though.

Having looked at Wiki, it seems it was Smarties that were moved abroad, not not all brands, so I stand corrected.

Still annoyed at silly macho marketing of Yorkie though.

Christine Gates and Jayne Shoesmith would let you have a fish finger in exchange for a Mars bar...But that was a VERY long time ago!
