Inferior colonial copy? I take it from that that you are an Ashes-less person from Britain, the country that still operates like its in the 14th century...with a queen and all that.... It doesnt surprise me that you make that comment, especially being British, a country where people are so anally retentive they have to call their wheat derived breakfest cereal Weet-A-Bix, not WeetBix, like we do here in a civilised grown up country. Ah Britain, where you can only get ahead depending on whihc school you went to and which member of the clergy you got interfered with by..... I'm happy being Australian, whereto the Urn has returned.

Those are fighting words my friend (and i use the word friend very loosely :) ). Its considered normal for us to adopt things from New Zealand , like Crowded Hopuse, and think of them as our own. you should be flattered, because without us adopting these things, no one in the world would give a rats arse :) We make your gear famous, and we dont get any credit for it, and you buggers come over here and live off our dole on top of it :p You can whinge about Australia all you like, but you and i both know, given the chance every Kiwi would be over here in a heartbeat. I mean without Kiwi's emigrating here our Social Services inftrastructure, particularly the dole, would actually go to real Australians, and not you blow-ins from across the ditch :) Still its better to have Kiwi's here than more whinging bloody Poms :) Ah, and while im here and mentioning whinging Englishmen, the Ashes are back home where they belong :) p.s. If you're a 6 foot 300 pound Maori, disregard the entire post, Im a typical white Australian, not stupid, we learn at an early age not aggravate Maori's, Somoan's and generally people of the islander heritage :) p.p.s. Vegemite kicks Marmite's arse

You tried it on a pastie? A true Aussie would opnly really eat on buttered toast, preferably with melted cheese. Putting it on a desert would get you killed here in Australia. And didn't i see on the news that it was banned in the U.S.? Seems you Seppos (Septic Tanks - or Yanks) are willing to allow god knows how many fattening foods for sale, chemicals for sale, drugs for sale, but a harmless food full of natural goodness with a high vitamin B component gets disallowed? America you are doomed:)
