Cadbury: British or AmericaFrom reading message boards it seems the British public are up in arms bout the selling of Cadbury to American com-pany Kraft. I agree with the Brit-ish public,Cadbury should remain a British company.Too many British companies get brought by large companies from the USA. It doesn’t make sense us giv-ing away all our British com-panies were losing the British

name. Everything about Cadbury will change, no mat-ter what Kraft say. How can a fake cheese company going to be able to run such a high quality of chocolate company. Will anything remain British?

Exam Paper RushBy Christina Lewis

After TERRIBLE weather that England had last week, there has been a shortage of GCSE and A - Level Exam papers. Schools and colleges are in a rush to order there required amount of tests before they all run out. Especially as they have receive and large amount of complaints from parents about the news rumour about propos-ing exams to the summer which will mean late entries into colleges for school pupils and extra stress of double exams for last year college students. The manager of OCR said’ We are working hard with both Royal Mail and Parcel Line to make sure that we can get the rest of the papers out to schools, to make sure that there are no delays to exam dates, But we

cannot be 100% sure that it will be successful. A parent from Warwickshire said ’Whats the need to postpone exams the snowgone now, things should be back to normal.’ A number of schools and colleges are still yet to place their order for how much papers they are need. They are being told to make sure they order the exact amount of papers needed as there is no spares.
