House stinks again as last coat of polyurethane has gone onto the new window frames. :sick:

In case anyone is interested, it did not occur to me to do anything to the tank that is in the same room as the work being done but the fish are fine.

Went swimming with friends this morning, then we sat in the spa pool to warm up further before enjoying a nice lunch at Chequers Cafe and Bar :love:

Am now shut in the computer room to try and reduce the smell from the other end, while looking for stuff to put in the next AW magazine.

Definitely not! The English version is a weird colour and runny, like honey. Tasted dreadful and nothing like Marmite is supposed to taste. We quickly learned to avoid it.

We now have a loft ladder installed. All we need is a loft. We have the space but need a proper floor so we don't go through the hung plaster ceiling. Then a lot of the spare fish keeping stuff can go up there. Not the tanks though as they will be awkward to get up the ladder.

Marmite was born in the 19th century and was produced in UK since 1902. It was given to the colonials as well but they made a different version. Because they were crazy, obviously. :roll:

Wikipedia:

Marmite (play /ˈmɑrmaɪt/ MAR-myt) is the name given to two similar food spreads: the original British version, first produced in the United Kingdom and later South Africa; and a version produced in New Zealand. Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing.

The British version of the product is a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, powerful flavour, which is extremely salty. This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it." Other similar products are the Australian Vegemite and AussieMite, the Swiss Cenovis and the German Vitam-R.

The distinctive product is British, but a version with a different flavour[1] has been manufactured in New Zealand since 1919, and this is the dominant version in New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
