What an unusual threat. Next time you gobble a yoke down, Mr. Costa might just slip you a mickey and fit you with a pair of concrete galoshes.
a mickey? or a mickey finn. cos, there's this subtle differance. (unless you're smytser. "pint of rohyp witha guinness loaf there..")

is it back? i thought it was gone?
seems to be.

did you catch 'lock up your sons' last night on channel 4? it were about uk backyarders, daft little shits.
 
Out of sheer boredom I emailed Cadbury's and suggested that they add mini Flakes to the Minature Heros assortment. I think it is a top idea.
Anyway, I was hoping to get some free choc but instead got this email:


Thank you very much your e-mail.

Whilst I am unable to reveal future marketing plans, I can inform you that
we have already explored very similar ideas to the one you outlined. Our
Research and Development Team, in partnership with the Marketing Department
continually investigate new product ideas. Development of a new chocolate
product requires tremendous investment, both in time and financial
resources. For every new product that reaches the market place, fifty or
more will have failed to meet expectations somewhere during development.
New products have to be carefully researched to ensure they have mass
appeal, and the decision to introduce a new Cadbury chocolate product is
always based on the results of extensive market research.

We greatly appreciate the time and effort you have taken to contact us and
thank you once again for giving us the opportunity to consider your new
product idea.

I think that's a 'no'
:mad:
 
That's not a "No", that's a "Stay away from my job, fella."

A friend of mine used to work in marketing at Cadbury's. He had to eat something in the region of 10 bars a day, for purposes of tasting.

No, I never really believed it either. But, as they say in Cadbury's, "When you work here you learn to swallow everything, fella."

Pretty obscene for Quakers, them Cadburies...

biggest cadbury's scam = "dipped flakes" or whatever they're called

the pitch: take a Cadbury's Flake & dip it in chocolate.
expected result: Yum flaky chocolate covered in a layer of more chocolate

actual result: A Twirl.
