Valentine's Day might be over but romance lives on in Cadbury towers with the announcement of the marriage of Bertie Bassett to his bride Betty, the face of Bassett's new red Liquorice Allsorts. The wedding coincides with Bertie's 80th birthday and the unveiling of Bassett's red Liquorice Allsorts - due to replace Bassetts Fruit Allsorts.
Over 60 factory workers from the Bassett's line were given time off work (to celebrate with the happy couple).
According to Cadbury, Bassett's Liquorice Allsorts were created by accident in 1899, when accident-prone salesman Charlie Thompson tripped up, mixing up all the different sweets he was carrying.
