      Except the Graun says it's nothing to do with Brexit. Still, one should never let the facts get in the way of a good anti-Brexit rant, eh?

        Totally agree. I hate the stuff. It's a byproduct for beer making.

            Too many whiney-assed Bremoaners gurning about the product's texture?

              Are you thick or dishonest or both?

              The article does not say that. It says Unilever denies Brexit is a factor.

                Fair point, it was a quote, not a statement. I'll try and make that clear next time, just to protect your delicate little sensibilities...

                  Because, like you, they can't spell?

                  They actually wanted to move to Rotherham.

                    Ah yes, Marmite, that great British food:

                    The product that was to become Marmite was invented in the late 19th century when German scientist Justus von Liebig discovered that brewer's yeast could be concentrated, bottled and eaten.
                    Justus von Liebig was born in Darmstadt into the middle-class family of Johann Georg Liebig and Maria Caroline Möser in early May 1803.
                    Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.
