Marmite - but Pa wont!

Tweet

That was a saying we used as kids - "Ma-mite, but pa wont!" Did you ever use that phrase? Yesterday I was perusing through all the writings and @Owlwings new avatar was that of a MARMITE bottle. Its quite amazing that products such as Marmite, and Baked Beans that he features in an earlier post are common in both countries! I suppose all good things have to have their origin such as VEGEMITE that comes from down under in Australia. I have Vegemite as well because my one daughter gets her package from friends once a year. Now I have that earworm in my head - "Land down under" where the lyrics go from Belgium (My favourite place) all the way to the Land down under . . . "Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six-foot-four and full of muscles I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a Vegemite sandwich And he said . . . I come from a land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover" then the song moves off to Bombay . . . watching the Men at Work of the song reminds me of some of Judy's youtube's too. So this is how an image of a bottle of MARMITE on Owlwings profile takes me to my own kitchen cupboard (photo of the new variety - marmite cheese spread) to a Land down under, and a song that travels the world. Most interesting dont you think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfR9iY5y94s
