    It's because Marmite contains more than 3g of salt per 100g of product. The legislation prohibits the advertising of such products to children. Of course, the dimwits who dreamed up the legislation didn't take into account that no one consumes anywhere near as much as 100g of Marmite, more like 1g on a slice of toast.

    I think it's called joined up government or something.

        Marmite is the food of gods. When you get to heaven, you'll starve if you don't eat it.

          I've never heard a better reason for being a sinner.

                Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
                "And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
                Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."

                    When I worked at Goldman Sachs the American used to ask me at breakfast "What is that you are putting on your toast?". I always said "try a bit".Then then took a smear - but I recommended a large blob!

                    I guess it took hours to get rid of the taste!
