People have been eating chocolate digestives incorrectly since they were first created 100 years ago, a biscuit factory boss has suggested.

Anthony Coulson is general manager at McVitie’s chocolate refinery and bakery in Stockport, which opened in 1917, and has produced chocolate digestives since they were invented eight years later.
