I love it and hate it. Love it with strong cheddar, hate it on its own.

What is wrong with that? You will find that most of the large/prominent B to B consumer companies are run by ex P&G and Unilever people. They include:

BT, Direct Line, Talk Talk, WH Smith, M&S, Worldpay

It's all settled - you can go back to shopping a Tesco for Unilever products.

Marmite is 100% British sourced and produced. So what the frack does the exchange rate have to do with it?

Marmite is 100% British Sourced and Produced - Guido Fawkes Euro Guido

Unilever produces 6,000 tons of Marmite every year – around 50 million jars – entirely in the UK. The fall in the pound can therefore not justify Unilever’s reported demand for a 10% price increase for an entirely UK sourced product. Unilever are just using Brexit as a pretext for profiteering…
