I for one haven't taken any anti-Marmite shots. In fact, I went searching and found a local supplier, but just couldn't fork over the $13.00 at the time. I do intend to give it a try soon due mainly to all the fun natured talk on this thread!
Edit oops I accidentally pushed this thread to ten pages, sorry Toff!

Do you reckon it'll reach 11 before you leave for Oz, CH . . ?  When's the big day? (Make sure you count the silver before you leave, and entrust the keys to the wine vault with a trustworthy servant.) |

(Make sure you count the silver before you leave, and entrust the keys to the wine vault with a trustworthy servant.) 11? 11? My dear Renard I am now aiming for 20 pages, set your sights high dear fellow, rather like aiming at treble twenty on the dart board, if it drops a little, then fifty is not so far below! This is a wonderful forum, inhabited by complete lunatics like myself. I love it! More on this later, I have to have a few private words with the new parlourmaid, instruct her in her numerous duties when in my presence so to speak.  |

I find it totally amazing that CH does not simply hire a chamber maid to eat the Marmite for him so that he can then talk about it all the more freely. You know, free up his gums a bit from the trivial task of eating it and thus attend to other matters of thought... :-)

You know, free up his gums a bit from the trivial task of eating it and thus attend to other matters of thought... :-) Ah coupe1942, dear chap, Firstly, one does not hire, one employs servants. Now, a chambermaid has rather different duties from a parlourmaid, I will not dwell on the difference at the moment, as any gentleman will know what they are. If not, then his butler will, of course. As for allowing a menial servant to partake of MARMITE, absolutely not! It would overwhelm their taste-buds, leading to all sorts of unsuitable activity and perhaps even to "talking back" to their elders and betters. Dear me, no Sir! Lady CH is quite put out that you might even think such a thing, has had to retire early to watch "countdown" on the moving picture box and leave me to instruct the new parlourmaid alone. A task which I shall endeavour to undertake without further ado, with the aid of a good claret from the cellar, decanted by Richardson of course, and served in a lead crystal glass engraved with the family crest. When this has been accomplished I shall of course take up to Lady CH a round or two of MARMITE sandwiches, (crusts cut off and prepared by cook) to ensure her well being.  Servants, partaking of MARMITE, good grief, whatever next? The vote for women? Equality? The mind boggles with such nonsense, no it just won't do, it won't do at all. |

I have my suspicions that the maid has discovered the delights of Marmite and is, as we speak, enjoying a Marmite sandwich (crusts cut off of course)cuddling up with the footman while CH is out checking the pheasant pens with the game keeper or flying his SC.

Gentlemen,
After my adventures inspecting the properties "down under" in our former penal colony location, it has been all work and no play. Please forgive my absence from these pages for a while if you might be so kind.
Knackered Sailor is partially correct with his last comment. The new maid who so showed much promise at first has unfortunately blotted her copybook so to speak. She was observed trying to pick the lock of the MARMITE security locker which quite sensibly is covered by CCTV and laser beam security. I had no alternative but to admonish her and then to terminate her employment. Servants eh? Just seems so difficult these days find the quality and servile attitude of yesteryear.
Checking the peasant pens (no spelling mistake, please note, chuckle, chuckle). An unpleasant task overseen at a safe distance from a window in my study, whilst interviewing the new applicants for the previously departed maid's job and enjoying MARMITE sandwiches (with the crusts cut off). Knackered Sailor, so uplifting to hear that such a fine chap as your good self has the same high standards as myself and Lady CH.
Until the next time dear MARMITE lovers........

This must be some of the stuff that washes up on the beaches sometimes. Trouble is, the label is worn off enough so that one can't determine if it is to be ingested by mouth or taken as a laxative/enema. It appears to be quite similar to oil sludge in consistency, you know... As any true Texan will tell you, if it ain't made from bacon, then is simply ain't made right. :-) :-) :-)  |

OMG! I have just discovered that Marmite is now available in, in, 'squeezy jars'!!!**** I really must check but it looks likely that Marmite must have been taken over by Americans! A squeezy jar lacks any finesse whatsoever; I'm sure CH would agree with me that the solid British feel of the traditional glass jar along with the genteel anticipation of opening said jar and twisting Marmite around a knife before carefully spreading over buttered bread or toast is one of the things that made Britain great. Upending a plastic bottle and squirting the contents is so uncouth and uncultured that there should be a law prohibiting it.
