Default Yet another Rover take over.

Did history repeat it's self?
Kev.


Yet another Rover take over
Take a close up look at the selection
Not the troubled Brummy car maker this time but the seasonal biscuit assortment. When United biscuits acquired Jacobs UK business and its brands last year who could have imagined that the writing was on the wall for Rover, (again the biscuits not the car maker).
Over the years Peek Frean's Family Circle selection has always gone head to head with Crawfords Rover when in comes to securing that all important place accompanying those numerous Yuletide cuppas. Now the brand has passed via Jacobs to Crawfords and in a remarkable move Family Circle has donned the red and white livery of Rover.
The new selection includes Jacob's Happy Faces as well as chocolate covered fingers. The role of yuckky left till last biscuit is competently dealt with by the coconut cookie.
I found this on a biscuit forum!!. What does lockdown do to one?
No more Rover biscuits for the guys who call round for a chat and a quick repair job.

Hi Tony, Were you a biscuit worker or a "jammy dodger" ?

I appreciate your view albeit that you are completely wrong, obviously the yukky, left till last is the pink wafer
And anyway Yuletide cuppas should be accompanied by the mighty mince pie, not a cheap biscuit selection,

Neither Kev I was a cake man that started with Cadbury merged with and taken over by McVitie and then transformed into the frozen foods division.

Trikey is salivating as he types

Never mind clap for the NHS, I reckon the country's cake and biscuit makers deserve a thank you.
