Important Marmite update


A tale of kindness down under.

At Stu's new assignment, his boss has gone on holiday for 4 weeks. Before he left he asked how we were settling in, and Stu told him we were grand, but missing marmite.

Today when Stu got to his desk, he found a jar of the precious brown stuff (not poo) that said colleague (an Australian no less) had gone to his local brit supplies shop and purchased and left for him before he went on holiday.

When Stu emailed me this little story this morning I must say I had to look up and blink a few times.

shan't need to bring you any now then. A shop to patronise I would say. Bet Stu is a happy bunny now. Can I get rid of the two jars in my cupboard?

See, Australians are nice. I was going to send you some little marmite sachets but you might be overrun with marmite after your last post. JP x
