Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'...

It's the new year, and as such, a clean slate. The world has renewed itself as an oyster; as a selection box from which to take your chocolate; a sweet shop where you can buy anything you want, for less than a quid. In other words, it's time to make some decisions about how you're going to feel about this year, how you're going to deal with issues, and how you're going to view the world.

Remember, a wise scholar once wrote "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". Has this saying ever been truer? Probably.

Anyway, since it's a new year I want to address what I think is a pressing matter, a hot potato and a current affair all rolled into one.

Marmite Squeezy.

According to the website "countless numbers of you....got in touch...asking for a squeezy version".

I've got two things to say about this.

1) Who are these people writing into Marmite asking for Squeezy packaging. And by countless do Marmite actually mean literally no people wrote in asking for it?

2) Squeezy Marmite is abismal. It's worse than Jade Goody. I'd sooner see Evan Almighty than choose Squeezy Marmite over the regular jar...In fact I'd go as far to say I'd choose a non-brand marmite imitation rather than that Squeezable rubbish.

Happy New year. Let's hope they don't make Squeezy Hovis Best of Both loaves.
