Getting one's fix

It's not easy when you are an addict. You have to rely on a continued supply of those goods which make life worth living. Accordingly I was deeply concerned when I read this article in The Guardian:

Confectionery group Cadbury Schweppes said today its flood-hit Sheffield sweets factory will remain out of action for several more weeks.
The plant, which employs 900 people, makes Jelly Babies, Liquorice Allsorts and a range of other products both branded and own-label, and was badly affected by the flooding that hit the north of England last month.
Production at the factory has been suspended and Cadbury said it would be some time before it is fully operational.

Disaster! What am I gonna do? But then the sky cleared and the black clouds disappeared:

Manufacture of key brands such as Jelly Babies has been transferred to other factories and it is thought unlikely there will be any product shortages.

Phew!
