Did Fanny & Johnny 'invent' Marmite ?

No. It was invented on the continent, first appeared in the UK in 1902, a few years before Fanny was born (1909).

Mmm, 800 quid, reduced to 'a mere' 560 quid. Would any of you buy it I ask? 🤔 I doubt the 'silver' is real silver and if it is, it'll be worth very little as silver sells at about 75 pence a gram.

Do any of you know if there's a vegetarian alternative to Bovril?🤔 I fancy taking a flask of hot savoury drink out on my travels on freezing days like we're currently experiencing, but being a pescatarian I try to avoid animal related food and drink. 🧐

Try Miso soup.
Little sachets, pack of 5, lurk in the foreign bit of Sainsbury's.

Why do people drive at speed in thick fog and icy conditions without their lights on?

Why do people drive at speed in thick fog and icy conditions without their lights on?

Usually in silver or grey cars for better stealth…

Why do people drive at speed in thick fog and icy conditions without their lights on?

Because some have auto headlights and don’t think to manually switch them on to suit the conditions

Because they believe that the St Christopher medal on the dashboard justifies them and will protect them.
It may be last thing that goes through their mind will hurt them when they go from 80 mph to zero quite quickly.

Sorry your expectations of this type is far too high

That looks similar to this I bought a few months ago. It's been in my fridge, with me saving it for when I just fancy something I haven't tried before. I might just warm it up and put it in my flask.

Because we no longer have traffic cops.

Because we no longer have traffic cops.

They generally are followers of Pastafarisim, and believe in the flying Spaghetti monster , who will save them with it's devine retribution
It's intelligent design that turns on lighting on cars.
Pastafarisim is antidote to being sensible and turning the vehicle lights on.
You may think it stupid ......so is speeding in poor ,icy road conditions, but when ever has being sensible had anything to do with getting in a flash expensive car and driving it responsibly.

We need more of these!
