    Marmite Fact

    Back in the 19th century before Marmite was even called Marmite it was discovered by a chap named Justus Von Liebig, he found that brewer’s yeast could be concentrated and bottled and eaten.
    And where does old Justus come from:

    Justus Liebig wurde als Sohn eines Drogisten und Farbenhändlers in Darmstadt geboren.

    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.

    But +1 for annoying the Kippers by posting a link to Wikipedia-for-horrid-foreign-people

      Seems he was a busy bunny, not just the Marmite and Oxo type stuff but a lot of chemical lab practice, fair to say that bloke left his mark on the world

              Marmite, yech! If not a few decades out I was expecting to find he also invented Zyklon B.

                Where do you get this idea that UKIPers have anything against Germans? If open borders applied to Germany and others EU states of similar GDP per capita as the UK, if free movement had been introduced more slowly for eastern European nations as theirs rose to avoid a one way mass migration that has included some very unsuitable people, most of us would be enthusiastic about the EU. I doubt UKIP would even exist.
