    Well as a non-crazy Canadian I tried to get there and was unable (must be some technical problem) but if it's true...GOOD. Horrible stuff the two of them.

    Lovely stuff,Marmite.Puts hairs on your chest.

    Maybe the government has censored the link so that the people don't take to the streets in protest!

    As it turned out it was but a temporary issue although I was unable to find any mention of those two foul products therein. As for Marmite putting hair on ones chest that is the last thing I need thank you very much. Now had you said that it worked wonders at the removal of said hair I might have bought some and slathered on my chest.

    It looks like it's called Marmart in Canada.

    If I had said it removes chest hair you could not have bought any because it has been banned!

    I will only worry when they say that they'll (the powers that be) ban single malt scotch and haggis. Then I'll lead a protest march on Parliament Hill.

    British Marmite (lovely) is called My Mate in New Zealand. The Marmite name is used by a disgusting impersonator!!

    Can you buy haggis from Scotland? It's banned in the US.

    And they accuse us Brits of living in a nanny state devoid of personal freedom's and a sense self determination.

    I'm having haggis today, always have one late january to celebrate 'Rabbies' birthday, mind you I have the sliced version most sunday's with me breakfast. why in the name of sanity would you ban Marmite n Irn Bru?

    Just looked it up on Wiki.They put sugar in it!!!

    The Wiki page is quite interesting - I did not know about the 2012/3 Great New Zealand Marmite shortage - Marmageddon! (the NZ Marmite company is owned by Seventh-day Adventist church)
