THE YORKIE bar is being marketed as chocolate for men only, so where better to promote it than in the macho Merseyside metropolis? Liverpool, last bastion of the unreconstructed male, would surely bite.
Alas, what Nestl Rowntree bosses had failed to realise is that the women there are tough too. Soon the Yorkie was hounded out by a group of angry Liver birds.
So ended the latest battle in the war of the sexes. We hesitate to mention that this was also a continuation of the War of the Roses because that suggests an entirely different chocolate assortment, thank you very much.
