One year in - An update from a Brit...

[awor]

Canada was the first country to include the warning on cigarette packs that smoking causes a lack of sexual ability. Not coincidentally, Canada also has the lowest smoking rate in the developed world.

Oddly enough - at my wedding, all but a couple of the Canadians smoked, none of the Americans smoked, except me. Small demographic I know LOL And I mean the people who attended were smokers, people weren't actually smoking while we were getting married!

British chocolate is the ONLY real chocolate!

What is marmite?

 

[Canooknic]

What is marmite?

It is yeast extract, tastes kinda beefy, that you put on bread/toast. Australia has a similar product called Vegemite. You either 'love it or hate it'.....I am definitely in the 'love' bracket!!!

What is marmite?

I am in the hate bracket, yak!

 

[Canooknic]

I am in the hate bracket, yak!

Think I'll have to change your name to crazylady!!! ;D. A cup of tea and marmite on toast solves any problem!

 

[pinklady]

I'll have to stop you at the cup of tea part.

Marmite is most definitely one of the most disgusting things ever to be invented blurgh!

LOL

Hmm ... wonder if out Brit store here sells it. I am always open to at least trying it... and they sell hagus so who knows ....

I have British heritage but my Nan shared limited things with us (probably wanted to make sure we never ate it all on her) lol...but one thing we found out for sure.....British Chocolate ROCKS!!!

Although I'm not from Engalnd, there is a lot of British influence back home in Sri Lanka!

When I was new to Canada, I have had people look at me in a funny way when I've asked for Sellotape...Tip-ex....
and I still can't understand why Colour is spelt as Color or Cheque as Check....!!!! It is soooo wrong!!!! ???
