Thank you one and all for your very kind wishes! The day is going well. Started with breakfast in bed accompanied by a 5 man band of grandchildren outside the window giving Iron Maiden, and my lugs, a good thrashing! Then we had the usual morning chore of shovelling snow followed by a sauna and a roll in the snow (not a euphemism - honest)! We required hot coffee and something stronger to warm up - purely for medicinal purposes. One can't be too careful at my age. Now whiling away the last hour before my guests arrive and the serious partying begins. Hangover cures welcome tomorrow. Thanks again to everyone ... and Eggy 'Tack ska du ha' ... and Moe - yes they do, don't they. ... Foxy - I'll deal with you later!

The Mods gave GOD a red card.

I can confirm that. My sister worked there for a while. There was another factory that made Christmas cake decorations and silver coloured cake boards to put the cakes on. I had a sister who worked there as well but I was probably too small to ever visit the factory at that time. However, I used to get loads of off-cuts from the silver paper used to cover the cake boards and other bits and pieces to play with. Can anybody remember where the factory was?
