INTRODUCTION
Cadbury World is located in Bournville, a village in Birmingham which was actually founded by the Cadbury family and named after a nearby river, 'Bourn' There is bar of chocolate named after this village, it is a dark chocolate bar and comes in red and gold packaging.

Personally, I can live with the burden of owning something fashionable if it makes my days go by that little bit easier. So anyway, I'll do a bit-by-bit review and we can see what's what.
PRICE
I paid £230 in Curry's for this, which I think is exceptionally good value. It may not be as small as ...
