In case you just can't travel without your daily dose of the brown stuff ...

PS : I am intrigued by item 10 on the 'most confiscated' list ...

70g Miniatures?

That's only 2 days worth!

[sunny-dave]

It would easily last me a couple of weeks, mamya - and still have 70g left ...

[ummmm]

Wow...people can't go a few weeks without marmite.

We recently found a shop in Calgary that sold Marmite, along with lots of other British goods. Didn't see any fury handcuffs in there though.

[ummmm]

Lol Dave...same here.

[Islay]

70g would do me years - then I would have to chuck out 70g!!

[Mamyalynne]

Hell hath no fury like a handcuffed Tilly.

[Lie-in King]

I never go anywhere, my 250g jars & I are very happy at home :-)

So....Tonyav fibbed about what happened to my handcuffs...... :-(

[Old_Geezer]

Good grief.

[marval]

I like Marmite, but I can live without it for a while.

[tonyav]

All Marmite ought to confiscated imo.

[237SJ]

It seems a bit strange that the airport has a job lot of Marmite. A very good marketing ploy IMO

[-SharonA-]

Number 1 gets me. Why would you want a snow globe on holiday???

[ummmm]

Maybe it's bringing a snow globe back to the UK.

[237SJ]

People do transport snow globes at Christmas.

If people are so keen to go abroad with Marmite, and I will admit....I am one of them, why don't they put the bloody jar in their hold luggage ?

When I was back-packing around Europe in the 70's, my jar of Marmite was a god send. No matter where you were and whatever strange new foodstuffs you came across, you always knew that as long as you could get some bread, you wouldn't go hungry !

I can remember making hot Marmite drinks, on a little Camping Gas stove, in a Youth Hostel, half way up a Swiss Alp and sharing them with other Brits !
