'Marmite amnesty' under way at London City airport
A UK airport has declared a “Marmite amnesty” today, after the popular savoury spread was found to be the number one branded food item confiscated from passengers’ hand luggage. |

It's one way of ensuring that this awful stuff leaves the UK.. hope it doesn't come here.

Re: Food confiscations - Marmite amnesty
I'm more interested that one of the most-confiscated items is furry handcuffs.
What are these people doing on holiday? |

What are these people doing on holiday? British holidaymakers are the worst culprits when it comes to grabbing sunloungers early according to GERMANS | Daily Mail Online |
Re: Food confiscations - Marmite amnesty
This is a turnaround because, for years, it was the Germans who were shamed for doing this.
It even coined an airline joke...which I'd heard was actually true... At LHR Lufthansa was told to taxi to the holding point so BA could pass and take-off ahead. The Lufthansa pilot asked "Why BA has priority take-off...we were first?" The ATC controller replied "Because BA put a towel on the end of the runway!" |

Re: Food confiscations - Marmite amnesty
Let's face it, it's fake news.
Who thinks that Marmite's tasty? Marmite is in fact awful. I use it to get rid of moles. Where all else fails, a small teaspoonful smeared onto a mole hill and the mole gets the message and ravages next door's garden instead. It's also wonderful for persuading cats who like to think that my flowerbed is their favourite place to crap. Forget pepper spray and levelling that faithful M16 at 6 inches, a Marmite jar placed near the offending spot is simply enough to put the cat's nose out of joint. And those pesky bears. Pin a copy of an order you've placed for Marmite to your bin and you'll not be pestered by bears ever again. You have to accept it that only the animal world appreciates the true taste of Marmite. |

Clearly you can be lumped along with Dave into the pot of complete fools, Marmite is nothing like the others. I on the other hand will open up my little pot of marmite and spread it on my toast for brekkie :cool:

Re: Food confiscations - Marmite amnesty
Good news for Marmite lovers..
Every home in the UK has a jar of Marmite in the larder. Bad news for Marmite lovers.. Most of these jars are dated pre 1954 when UK rationing ended and proper food became available. |

Good point. But if you were in Australia it might be the same thing (or close) whereas Vegemite is definitely a different taste.

Re: Food confiscations - Marmite amnesty
Clearly if the name ends in "mite" it's something that a dog would have in its ears and needs to be eradicated. Promite, vegemite, marmite. No matter; they're all :sick:

When it comes to Marmite, 'Where there's muck there's brass!'
