OH - with that many going in the shopping basket - scoffer maybe? (No offence intended Chantal - I just found buttered baked potato crisps from M & S - scoff indeed - yum!) x

Has anyone seen this advert for marmite that people are complaining about? Something about rescuing abandoned jars at the back of cupboards.

Nibbler, scoffer or do you lick the flavour off?

:lol: :lol: Bit of both really OH, I nibble the big crisps and bite the small ones and tip the dinky ones straight down my throat out of the bag. Does that give you enough mental images to deal with in one morning?

Yes, thank you Chantal, that will make going back to work this afternoon, even more pleasurable. :)
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

We like it but round about the time when Glasnost was starting in the Soviet Union we sent a jar of Marmite to a business acquaintance of my husband who lived in Moscow as an example of some typically English food. He couldn't believe that we actually ate it and thought it was a form of axle grease, thus perpetuating the myth that life under their regime had to be better than the dire conditions under which we were living in the West! He has since emigrated to the West and we can now laugh about it.

Advert is hilarious! Probably the best advertising they've done for years since the complaints started coming in. Thanks for the link.

For the record my jar is at the front of the cupboard but I'm a lone consumer... :wink:
