Were Muller yogurts the same Muller company who have big premises on the side of the M5 between Bristol and Exeter?

A lot were bought out by bigger companies, eg Mita and AST Computers. I'd guess most of the online gaming firms are still going strong.

Cadbury to Villa should be what Walkers was to Leicester, Colman's to Norwich and Newcastle Brown Ale to the horse punchers.

Just think of all the Bournville / Born Villa marketing opportunities it would afford.

Ah, LDVans Vans. What a stupid name. Some branding merchant shat the bed that day.

Cadbury sponsor the Aussie rugger-bugger team I think, along with Land Rover. Weird having 2 Brum originated firms sponsoring teams on the other side of the world.

I think that there’s a couple of Cadburys factories in Oz.
