I don't but I intend to ask at work on Monday.  I haven't seen any
announcements.

As it is Cadburys that service and stock them I think we'd have heard if
they'd gone bust!

There could be a huge range of issues as to why every machine has had to
be switched off.  I'm not aware that the drinks machines - part of the
same contract - have been switched off so perhaps there is a specific
issue with the chocolate machines themselves.  I'll see if I can an
answer on Monday.
