What price tradition?

The fact that Cadbury's are closing their factory in Keynsham, putting some 500 people out of work, and moving production to Poland seems to have slipped under my radar. I imagine that George and Richard Cadbury, who founded the company in the mid-1800s and who as Quakers put the well-being of their employees very high on their agenda (they created the model village of Bournville on the outskirts of Birmingham to house them), must really be spinning in their graves.
