01 July 2010 Lyle's Golden Syrup - The sun sets on a historic symbol. Like the Empire that symbol of British life no longer flies under the Union Jack. The world's oldest brand is changing hands, The Guardian reports Tate & Lyle has agreed the sale of its historic sugar business to American Sugar Refining (ASR) for £211m. For some with a historical bent nothing quite like it has happened since Napoleon sold Louisiana to the US, or the Russiand did a similar deal with Alaska. http://www.newsroompanama.com/panama/1363-the-sun-sets-on-an-historic-symbol-.html --- Harshawardhan_Bosham Nimkhedkar
