I was talking to an electrician at work today about the news this morning about Cadbury's. He said he worke in a (fairly) local factory where they make cakes. He said that he and another workmate had to renew th trunking over the production lines.
When asked how long they'd be he said as long as it takes, there were only the two of them to do the whole job.
They just shrugged and let them get on with it and never closed the line for them or anything. He said all the debris in the runs fell onto the food. So it isn't just the choccy that they have a major health problem in.
That's just the one they got caught with.
