When I was first in England, you could only buy vegemite in shops around Australia House in London. Nowadays you can buy it in supermarkets but it is LOTS dearer than in Oz. I pay £1.99 a little jar in Tesco. When we were last in Australia, we brought home a 1kg jar which was cheaper than my little jars.
In the 70s when I was doing the Aussie tourist thing and hitching around Britain and Europe and staying in Youth Hostels, you could always spot the Aussies in the dining room at breakfast time cos all the jars of vegemite would appear out of their packs.
