Could this just be the most brilliant marketing strategy ever? Get banned in a small market to stir up curiosity in larger, more profitable markets.

I've never heard of the stuff and now I want to try it.

I read somewhere that this might be to do with the Army starting to use British instead of Danish bacon.

Oh, by the way cdfox7: I e-mailed BBC Radio Merseyside's show and nothing came of it, it wasn't aired. The show seemed to be full of whingers moaning about the eeeevil Tesco development.

I dunno, I wasn't listening that closely. If you really want you can probably still listen to Monday's edition on the Beeb website.

No, there might be another one in the Liverpool area that's being developed so they're protesting them?

While I can't say much about the British variation of Marmite, I quite like the New Zealand variation (sold in NZ, Australia, and the Pacific). It's definitely an acquired taste.

Can we stop making the liberal comment. Being a liberal doesnt mean that we are trying to ban stuff, or coddle bullies, or be too pc. Stop making that asinine comment.
