I heard on the news they are shedding 500 jobs at Slough.

Apparently CDM is taking more market share then ever.


WHY!?

I have to go to Slough for work conferences sometimes. It's near Reading and Windsor that sort of area.


When you go there there is definitely a smell of Mars in the air.

I thought The Office was from Swindon? But I could be very wrong.

The Office is in Slough but when that merge happened in the programme people from the Swindon branch came to the Slough branch.

It didn't say anything about Cadbury though.



Though I do think Cadbury doesn't truely deserve a large market share.
They have only introduced crappy new Dairy Milk variations over the
last year or so. Nothing remotely creative or distinctive.

I just don't think, even if it did have anything to say about Cadbury, that Rob's ass would rush to share its views with the rest of the world.


Doesn't seem like the type who would, to me.

Exactly!


They are relying on people remembering good old products such as Wispa even though they no longer make them.


I hope Mars and Nestle wup their ass.
