Cadbury's creme eggs are on sale all the year round! I vote for a moratorium on the sale of chocolate eggs less than 28 days before Easter Monday.
I started out with nothing, I still have most of it.

I'd ban all Cadbury's products.

Management can't be trusted to keep the crap out of Crapburys. Fined a million £ in 2007 for allowing crap to get mixed in their chocks and doing nothing about it for 6 months. They got found out because of the salmonella epidemic it caused.

Cadbury triggered a major salmonella outbreak last summer (2006) after changing its testing systems from a zero-tolerance policy to one in which food containing an "allowable" level of the bacteria was permitted.

The Birmingham-based company eventually withdrew a million chocolate bars from sale in June 2006 after admitting to health officials that it had detected salmonella at one of its factories.

The problem initially came to light when health officials began to investigate a puzzling rise in cases of the rare montevideo strain of salmonella.

The Health Protection Agency traced a sample of the montevideo bacteria it had been sent a few weeks earlier back to a Cadbury factory in Malbrook, Herefordshire.

When approached by health officials, the company said it had detected salmonella in its chocolate crumb - one of the ingredients used to make bars and Easter eggs - in January but that levels of the bacteria had been too low to be a health risk.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman, "Where's the self-help section?"
She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

You're excused Mooncat, on account of the poor quality of English Grammar teaching in Wales.

The teachers waste their time teaching Welsh.
