According to the British Retail Consortium/KPMG, sales rose by 1.3 per cent compared with a year ago.0 -

Cadbury is indeed an interesting case.
The parent company, Mondelez, got an EU grant to move production of some Cadbury products to Poland.
I'm not sure it should be used as an example of the EU defending jobs in the UK. Opposite really.0 -

Thanks Brexitards.
Buying British: Why do it?
Choosing British means supporting British farmers whose work helps to keep the British countryside the way we want it to look: no sheep, or cows, or fruit, or vegetables - no countryside!
You will be supporting the economy – everyone from the farmer, to those who work in food processing and the retailers selling the food.
British food travels less far from farm to shop so has a lower carbon footprint than most imported foods.
Eating British fruits and vegetables in season is good for you. Foods in season contain the nutrients, minerals and trace elements that our bodies need at particular times of the year.
British meat is produced to some of the highest welfare standards in the world: no growth-promoting hormones are allowed and any antibiotics are administered only under veterinary direction.
Britain's pig farmers operate by UK law to standards of welfare that are higher than those of nearly every other EU member state. Buying pork that is a ‘Product of the means there is a 70% chance that it comes from a farming system that would be illegal in Britain.
Britain's beef and sheep industries are the envy of the world; breeding livestock and genetics from our native breeds are much sought after by farmers in other countries. Protect our great native livestock industry by buying the real thing, not an imported substitute.
Britain's cattle passport system means that each animal can be uniquely traced to its dam (mother) and place of birth.
Meat carrying the British Red Tractor logo has been produced to a high set of standards covering every stage of the food chain from rearing to processing and can be traced back to the farm it came from.
British chicken is the safest chicken meat in Europe: 2% of British chickens have salmonella whereas 30% of European chickens have the disease.“Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.”

WHY have these [STRIKE]vultures[/STRIKE] MP's decide when TM has already given a date of "by the end of March"?
Justification for MP's existence, perhaps?
Since March is not so far away ... and have you heard the Commons debate anything?
Most of the time, my children's schools are more distinguished in their behaviour; given the contentious issue at hand do you see this proposal as being a calm, reasoned debate?
Seriously?
Then there is no certainty about ANYTHING at the moment so why attempt to get reassurances for what has not been discussed, never mind actually happened.
(Quite beside the possibility that any one of us may be knocked-down by e.g. the no.9 bus tomorrow morning.Nothing in life is certain.)
The future make-up of the EU is uncertain; it looks like there will be no Merkel and no Hollande for example before considering other possibilities.
So without knowing what the EU plans, how can the UK with certainty assure anyone of anything?
Because without certainty all that could be provided is a series of meaningless words; of worthless promises.
We get enough of these already, through media and in forums like this.
Carry on as they are, say I.0 -

Thanks Brexitards.UK retail sales rose again in October, posting above-average growth for the third month in succession and with the three-month average sales growth at its highest level since 2011, figures from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) show.0
