Ah - Marmite, lovely stuff. A Cheese and Marmite stand at the show would have been good!

DO NOT besmirch Paddington with this filthy attempt to blacken his Peruvian greatness.    Bears do not like Marmite it is evil...I tell thee. SO there!
I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

"potatoe" is US Vice President Dan Quayle's main legacy:

I remember going to the Challenge Cup Final at Murrayfield in 2000, and looked at the prices on the concession stands and muttered something under my breath. Meanwhile all around me peopel who were used to London (this was the first post Wembley final, Bradford v. Leeds, Bradford won) were remarking on how cheap everything was. I think the fact it is in London is the main thing that keeps me away to be honest. Lovely venue, shiny boats.... London...

I have noticed a lot recently that when referring to a potato that has been baked it's been written as "baked potatoe" with an 'e' on the end. I have only ever noticed it when it's being referred to the baked variety. Very strange!

Paddington has marmalade doesn't he?


Thanks Tom, that's exactly what I thought..........Wikipedia says: " He likes marmalade sandwiches and cocoa, and has an endless capacity for getting into trouble. However, he is known to "try so hard to get things right"........as for Marmite
