Default My sons happiness depends on this!!

Sorry, but its that Marmite question again.

I am in Upper Coomera, on the Gold Coast and was wondering where the nearest Brit shop is so I can get some real proper Marmite.

I have tried lies and deception, but he is not daft at 6 years old....hes knows what he likes and Vegemite just does not come close.

So please I beg you all, help me.

British Shop is at Robina Town Centre. But my Coles sells Marmite only it's called My Mate or something (don't buy it prefer Vegemite) You shouldn't have to pay British Shop prices.

Thankyou Moneypen20.

I have tried the My Mate, but its not quite the same and Kyle does not like it.

Looks like a trip to Robina at the weekend then.

Cheers

Word of advice - don't take Kyle with you - you might end up needing to take out a loan

I think it's called "Our Mate" and the label is coloured the same as UK Marmite if I remember correctly.

Not to be confused with Marmite on the shelves here which isn't life as we know it Jim......I mean, isn't like UK Marmite.

I'm into Vegimite meself

Thjere's a shop selling Brit foods (sauces, sweets, CHOCCIE! etc.) in Sanctuary Cove village.

Haven't actually seen Marmite but would probably be worth a look.
