I was pleased they were cleared by the ASA, who said most people would realise it was a spoof !

I thought ad. quite quirky , but certainly not worth complaining about !

Incidentally, ^ I am ^ a lover of said product .

The champagne I DrinK is not sweet , no way , perhaps you are thinking of Cava . Now "that" can be sweet not that I would drink it out of choice , I have to say !!

I don't know what champagne they put into Marmite with champagne [well, champagne flavouring of some kind I suppose] but it does make the Marmite taste slightly sweet [don't ask me why but it does]. However, on the subject of fizzy alcoholic drinks I love Lambrusco [dead common, me smile]!

By the By , you have not commented on the Ebor , are you not watching?

I'm having a disaster because one of my bets didn't get into the race because Jessie Harrington pulled her horse out 15 minutes after the cut off point so my horse [first reserve] couldn't run. And No Heretic [my main bet; love the name!] needs good ground and it's going to chuck it down tonight sad. The Ebor Handicap is my favourite race of the year but I haven't had time to study it this year. Also have Tropical Beat [bad draw] and Tiger Cliff [great chance; been bought to go hurdling after this]. Oh, and Genzy. I have lots of small bets on the one race and have achieved my goal of having an ante post bet on a horse that has got the lowest weight [which is good considering there were nearly 100 entries and it's now down to 19]. Of course, every year I tell everyone to back the Haggas horses at York..and then don't do it myself. Did you see The Fugue win the other day? Isn't she beautiful! She's been one of my favourite horses for a while now; looks just like Black Beauty. A friend has got a house next to the track so, when I'm retired I can go there a lot smile.

Has anyone tried this Marmite chocolate bar? The taste is subtle and works well. I bought a few for novelty stocking fillers one Ch******s. The reactions were varied!

Love the advert, wouldn't dream of complaining.
