Marmite, the essence of Britishness

The savoury spread Marmite was the subject of a Commons motion.

Former sports minister Tony Banks said that 2002 marked the 100th anniversary of its creation. His motion said: "We take intense satisfaction from the essential Britishness of the product and its lack of appeal for the majority of the world's population."

Also, thanks to a Reuters [<a href="http://www.reuters.co.uk/news_article.jhtml?type=search&StoryID=636265" target="r">here</a>], this site is spreading the word of Marmite to literally thousands of new site visitors as the article is published around the world.

To quote from the article; "The Marmite debate may not be given parliamentary time, but the debate rages on the Internet on websites such as www.ihatemarmite.com" - Wayhay!!
