I have tried both marmite and vegemite and neither are to my liking, but they seem to taste the same to me, is there a significant difference between the 2?

In the UK Marmite rules . Vegemite is ugh.
Here in NZ, vegemite is like UK marmite so it rules , as the NZ marmite is slippery , yuk & nothing like UK marmite.
Work that one out.

My wife does like marmite and does buy it from time to time, appears to be the UK kind as its always in the British foods section.

Two rites of passage for Oz children when I was a kid:
Your first solid food was a scraping of vegemite on a dry rusk
You had to learn the Vegemite song before you were 3 years old
We're happy little vegemites, as bright as bright can be
We all enjoy our vegemite for breakfast lunch and tea
Our mummies say we're growing stronger every single week
Because we love our vegemite
We all adore our vegemite
It puts a rose in every cheek

Reminds me of certain members of the Oz cricket team - and some people say Aussies have no culture!

Talking of the war -
In 1919, following the disruption of British Marmite imports after World War I and prior to the introduction of Vegemite, Callister's employer, the Australian company Fred Walker & Co., gave him the task of developing a spread from the used yeast being dumped by breweries. Callister had been hired by the chairman Fred Walker.[5] Vegemite was registered as a trademark in Australia that same year. Callister used autolysis to break down the yeast cells from waste obtained from the Carlton & United brewery. Concentrating the clear liquid extract and blending with salt, celery and onion extracts[6] formed a sticky black paste.
