Metchosin - you said "last outpost" (of the BE) - I just took the "out" out... Taraagghhhhh... MORE martial trumpets braying (or is it a cornet? - no, that's an icecream or fission'chip thread).

Mouldy - you've got a "Ma-Might-Cook-Errr-eee!!! BOOK"?

I hate to be negative, but cobber, no matter how Mouldy the book is, it's the wrong yeasty "mould" for Marmite.

Ye Gods - I hope I'm not too late, mate. Don't cook the book! Or, even worse... Ingest it!!!!!

1. "Ma might" get grumpy over losing the book.

2.You would never "cover" for the theft of the book.

3. Your pager would go off for every leaf you took from the book.

The mind boggles as to where "Mouldy" could lead a Marmite thread!

I'll go back to the "fortified" product..;)

Actually, I still do a grin, thinking back to where the Aust/NZ version of Marmite came from, a century back. Imagine - "God Botherers" taking the brewery cast-offs for "Sanctified" Sanitarium Marmite...;)

It's a worry..;)

And, futhermore.....

Wotcha Bert.....

Those "unlabelled cans" you saw being unloaded, may possibly have been "Maltexo" - another fine "health-giving" by-product of the brewers art. When I was a kid, we had it shoved down our gobs by the shovel-full. Just a bit like the UK "Cod-liver oil and the orange juice"..:)
