| Probably the same customs officer who asked Clive Woodward if he had a criminal record. He replied " I'm sorry I didn't know I still needed one to enter this colony ." |

| <<<"Mate, i have absolutely no idea how you blokes can eat this stuff....">>> That same customs officer asked the same question to Guy Ritchie last time he was out here. He had Madonna on his arm at the time the question was posed. |

| To quote the Melbourne Airport Quarantine officer as I declared by 4 250g jars of Marmite I had bought before leaving Heathrow - "Mate I have absolutely no idea how you blokes can eat this stuff...." It is a part of us, it's intrinsically English. |

| Well it just goes to show that in one field the Australians must be streaks ahead of the English. Sense of humour bypass operations. Perhaps Doctor Border is doing the operations. |

| The English would rather Marmite over the much superior Vegemite because the English are so use to accepting mediocrity it's no longer funny... it's their way of life. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| <<<"Cricket is like Marmite, entirely eccentric; wholly British and something the rest of the world will never truly understand," he said.>>> Sounds like the Royal Family. |

| Marstonâs Pedigree, the official beer of the England cricket team, have teamed up with Britainâs favourite bitter-sweet breakfast spread, Marmite. Out goes the traditional black jar with a yellow lid; in comes a dark-red colour resembling, to our minds at least, a cricket ball. The âsalty spreadâ, as the Daily Telegraph reported with outstanding elegant variation, have previously produced limited edition versions including one flavoured with champagne, and a Guinness version in 2007. Who, though, could possibly comment on such a radical change for Britonsâ favourite sticky yeast product? Who other than Dickie Bird? "Cricket is like Marmite, entirely eccentric; wholly British and something the rest of the world will never truly understand," he said. No word on whether Vegemite, the limp Australian alternative to Marmite, has followed suit in a face-off between the two kings of spreads. |
