His job was to pour chocolate into chocolate molds. One day, he noticed that excess chocolate spilled over the tops of the moulds and folded down into a stream of chocolate. The new Flake product was created as the texture had many thin layers of chocolate and had the irrestible crumbly and flaky texture. And so the Cadbury Flake was born! For a moment of pure indulgence all to yourself, why not try a Dipped Flake or a Praline Flake! THE PASSING OF A GREAT BRITCOM STARWe were saddened to hear that John Inman has passed away at the age of 71. He brought joy to many as Mr Humphries in the British Comedy Classic "Are You Being Served" with his catchphrase "I'm Free!" - and as Pantomime Dame in countless theatrical productions he was second to none. He will be greatly missed. UPCOMING TARTAN DAY EVENTS!Wear your tartan with pride! Check our website's news & events page for updates on area celebrations.
