Congratulations Are In Order
Let me be one of the first to congratulate the board of Cadbury's for their fine sense of business acumen by selling a 200 year old company to Kraft.
As an Australian I will be looking forward one day to having my chocolate come from China instead of Tasmania. |

Another company has left British hands with virtually no chance of it ever returning.
I also have another issue in that I am very much anti-globalisation. OK Cadbury was probably a global enterprise, but now it is part of an even bigger global enterprise. On a similar vein, someone once told me that in Switzerland, companies are not allowed to be sold to people or organisations outside Switzerland; even if the comany was a foreign company bought by a Swiss. In effect, once a company becomes Swiss, it is forever Swiss. Can anyone confirm or refute this?

Thank goodness there is the monopolies commission. What about BAA? Does anyone really choose their flights on who runs the airport?

Kraft, owned by Philip Morris. I was with the company the year they bought them. $18 billion. Insane amount of money PM makes. A was only made aware recently that the company changed its name to Altria. Corporate imaging

Sad, but inevitable. I wish I could say that we should be fighting tooth and nail for what is one the very few remaining traditional British companies, but we'd be pissing into the wind. It could be worse, though - it could have been Hershey's whose own products taste of a combination of dog poo and rancid rat vomit.
