Re: stockleys
 

where am i going to get my coltsfoot rock from now ? :eek: :(

Re: stockleys
 

Another well established firm gone

Re: stockleys
 

Blimey, thats a bit of a shock! But the old lady across from me was just complaining how dear there toffee is in Ossy Mills, so perhaps its down to so much cheap competition these days!

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: stockleys
 

cheap crap would be nearer the mark Taggy, still its the way of the world, another established firm bites the dust.:(

Re: stockleys
 

Heard all the staff have to work for no pay for the next two week or they will not receive any redundancy pay, surely they can't do that

Re: stockleys
 

if theres no union yon, they can't afford to dispute it.IMHO.

Re: stockleys
 

was talking to the woman and the fella on the sweet stall in Accy about it today, he said he hasnt been able to get hold of any Stockleys sweets for a while now, what he has on the stall now is what he's had for a while and is running out fast :(

Re: stockleys
 

Was in Ossy Mills last Monday and a member of staff was filling the sweets up. I asked had they any sasparalla (sp) drops/tablets. She didn't have a clue what i was on about said she'd never heard of them. With sales staff like that, well it doesn't really suprise me.

But i do feel sorry for the staff whose getting laid of and having to work for two weeks without pay, well it's disgusting.

Re: stockleys
 

Just in administration at the moment .. so still hope :

PricewaterhouseCoopers

Will be really bad news for Ossie Mills ... one of their main tenants ... probably the main creditor too, so could be knock on effect there.

Re: stockleys
 

its there parent company that has gone into administration so stockleys maybe profitable fingers crossed and the owners of ossy mills should by the stockleys brand/name as it is heritage.

Re: stockleys
 

Crikey! Glad I bought a 1lb of Coltsfoot Rock from the stall in the market hall this morning. Might have to go back and buy up their remaining stock...I'm addicted to the stuff!

Re: stockleys
 

Me too........Love the Stuff!!...Race ya down on Monday!!:D

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: stockleys
 

You'll beat me to it, mate. Won't be up to Accy again until the next home match. Just leave a little bit for me...please! :D

Re: stockleys
 

LOL!! OK will Do!;)

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: stockleys

Re: stockleys
 

Cheers, Taggy, will have to ration my remaining stocks now! :D

Re: stockleys
 

On second thoughts, think I'd rather go without than risk Flashy's wrath! :D

Re: stockleys

Loads of others on Google.

Re: stockleys
 

I would like to suck it, because then it'd last longer, but I always end up crunching it. Just got through six pieces in the last 20 minutes. :eek:

Re: stockleys
 

lol, i got a quarter yesterday and i've still got half of it left, i break them up so i can fit them in mi mouth...they last longer


there's a stall on Blackburns 3 day market that sells it in the Stockleys bags, i hope they have quite a few in stock....the health stall thats been there for years, the one that sells sasperella on tap

Re: stockleys
 

Good idea, Flashy, might have to resort to that if there's a Coltsfoot Rock shortage!

Re: stockleys
 

Serious question.....does anyone know a member of the Stockley Staff who have been made redundant and were part of the manufacturing team making the products mentioned on this forum?

Re: stockleys
 

:eek: your now gonna tell us to get the recipe's off them and make our own aint ya? :eek: lol

Re: stockleys
 

Not me Flashy...........This maybe a job offer....don't crab it.

Re: stockleys
 

lol

Re: stockleys
 

Thanks, but not that desparate (sp) for them. :)

Re: stockleys
 

Posted via Mobile Device That really is a shame. I seldom purchase goods from Ossy Mills; when I do, it is always sausage from the butcher and sweets from Stockley's

Re: stockleys
 

This may cheer the sweet toothed up ;-

Rescue deal for Hyndburn sweet makers (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: stockleys
 

Heard about that last week david may have been in the Obs

Re: stockleys
 

In case there is any doubt, Stockleys shops is STILL operating at Ossy Mills. The lady there said it was just the factory that has moved to Blackburn. And .. the Coltsfoot rock is still FAB (maybe a wee expensive, but ... worth it!)

More than a Penny?:eek:
