No Champagne Marmite!
Our local Waitrose has no Champagne Marmite on its shelves. The stuff has been on general release since Monday, so there really is no excuse for this. I am going to have to search further afield if I am to find any.

“I tend to assume other people share my obsessive need to examine the settings...”
– Charlie Brooker. Although I share Mr Brooker’s exasperation with people who insist on watching a 4:3 picture stretched to fit a widescreen TV, I disagree that it is over 50’s who are particular culprits. The whole nation seems to have no idea about aspect ratios.
